Rail funding in Wales an injustice, says FM
Daily Post
|October 22, 2025
THE Welsh First Minister has said the nation is facing an “injustice” over the funding of its railways.
-
Speaking at First Minister's Questions yesterday, Eluned Morgan said there was still a “long way to go” to improve the rail network in Wales.
Welsh politicians have complained the country was shortchanged over the HS2 scheme, connecting London and the West Midlands.
The high-speed rail project is classified as an England and Wales project, rather than an England-only project, meaning Wales lost out on consequential funding.
Despite this, HS2 will not reach Wales.
At FMQs, Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth suggested the UK Labour Government has “no intention” of “giving Wales the billions it is owed”.
