<p>I am aware of local stakeholder interest in the redevelopment of Cardiff Central
Station which was identified by the rail industry in the Welsh Route Study as a choice
for funders for the next five year Network Rail funding period (CP6, 2019-2024). I
stand ready to discuss with the Welsh Government and the new Cardiff City Region Capital
Transport Authority how a potentially viable and fundable scheme for Cardiff Central
Station could be developed.</p><p> </p><p>Later this year, the rail industry will
present its initial advice on investment needs for the national network, for 2019
onwards. On the basis of this advice, Government intends to articulate its emerging
priorities for improvements to the national network during 2017.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
