Doubts over £1bn plan to electrify north Wales mainline

Responding to a question from BBC Wales over why a remit letter had not been sent, Mr Sunak said: “We’re really excited to deliver the north Wales electrification.

“It’s something that the Welsh Conservatives, my colleagues, have talked about for a long time.”

He added following the decision on HS2, the government had “freed up the money to invest a billion pounds in that electrification.”

There have also been questions raised over whether one billion pounds would cover the cost.

Industry sources think another half a billion pounds would be needed, and the Welsh Secretary has admitted it could cost more.

It is understood that stakeholder meetings took place early in 2024, but that since then little has progressed.
