Vital England – Wales freight link investment.

Network Rail has announced a 25 million pound (28 million euro) investment to secure the future of what they describe as a critical cross-border transport link, serving freight operations in both Wales and England. Details of the multi-million-pound plan show how the infrastructure agency plans to safeguard the railway line, increasingly ravaged by climate change and extreme weather.

The Newport-Gloucester line, which connects South Wales with England’s West Country, Midlands and the North, has been identified by Network Rail as one of the sections of the UK rail network most at risk to climate change disruption. As a mixed traffic line of strategic importance, Network Rail have taken the decision to invest heavily in a programme of upgraded earthworks and infrastructure remediation.
