Trains: Eluned Morgan says she is pushing for HS2 cash for Wales

Plaid Cymru has called for Wales to receive £4bn in consequential funding.

Welsh government ministers have recently put the figure at a much smaller £350m, although Labour politicians have estimated billions in the past.

The first minister said: “Well it’s definitely an issue that we haven’t given up on, an issue that I raised with the chancellor.

“I think it is important for there to be recognition that when it comes to rail infrastructure we do feel that Wales has been short-changed, and it’ll be interesting to see how that conversation develops.

“But already the UK government has made massive commitments to better infrastructure, rail developments in particular, in north Wales.”

Asked whether the chancellor was receptive to boosting funding for rail infrastructure in Wales, Morgan replied: “I think we’re all in talking and listening mode at the moment.”

The first minister added that she is “having conversations” on how Wales is funded, adding that “a fair funding system” is essential.
