The launch of Transport for Wales’s long-term plan for rail in Wales, ‘Today, Tomorrow, Together: A vision for rail across Wales and Borders’ on the 18th February 2026 marks a seminal moment for rail in Wales.
Jointly backed by both the Welsh and UK Governments, this is a £14bn package of bold, generational schemes that will transform travel, connect communities and power our economy.
‘Today, Tomorrow, Together’ sets out our vision and intent for rail in Wales, with a pipeline of enhancements covering the length and breadth of Welsh railways, that embraces both the non-devolved and the Welsh Government owned networks.
It is the result of partnership, ambition and an unwavering determination to deliver for passengers in Wales. It builds on the UK Government’s £445m commitment for rail in Wales announced in the Spending Review and puts us in an unprecedented position to deliver the next chapter of rail in Wales.
This follows Welsh Government’s £1.1bn investment to upgrade and electrify the Core Valley Lines, £800m investment to deliver a brand-new fleet of trains and the launch of the Network North Wales programme. We are already seeing the benefits of this investment, with Transport for Wales demonstrating record performance, increasing passenger satisfaction and growing passenger demand.
It is crucial that we build on this momentum and the launch of the Transport for Wales vision backed by a funding commitment from the UK Government is another significant milestone on our journey to transform rail in Wales.
