West Wales to Bristol trains in Welsh transport plan transportxtra
All trains from Bristol Temple Meads to Wales terminate in Cardiff, but the Welsh Government plans direct services to West Wales
Direct rail services between West Wales and Bristol, hydrogen-fuelled long-distance buses and possible road charging feature in the Welsh Government’s National Transport Delivery plan for the next five years.
When Transport for Wales was procuring the 15-year Wales and Borders rail franchise in 2017 and 2018, the UK Government forbade it from specifying services to Bristol Temple Meads until a capacity improvement scheme at the east end of the station was completed.
