The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what is the Wales Route's percentage share of UK rail network.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Wales Route share of passenger rail journeys is approximately 2% of the total rail usage for Great Britain. The level of investment across the different parts of the railway network is determined by the needs of the network, value for money and meeting the government’s priorities.
