Metro is a new transport system that Metro branding and transport livery will transform the way we travel around the Cardiff Capital Region. It will provide faster, more frequent and joined-up services using trains, buses and light rail. Metro will bring benefits to passengers, link communities together and help transform the economy. It will have a positive social, economic and environmental effect. It will also shape our region’s identity. High frequency Integration Metro will run at least four services an Metro combines heavy rail, light rail and hour across the whole network when buses to deliver a seamless network. With needed and even more on busy sections. just one ticket, people will be able to This gives a ‘turn up and go’ experience move quickly and easily across the region. for passengers using vehicles designed It also links with active travel – cycling for speed and capacity. and walking – to create a completely integrated network.

Cardiff Capital Region The population of the wider Cardiff Capital Region is expected to grow from 1.5m to 1.6m The Cardiff Capital Region already has a vibrant over the next 20 years1 economy with a great quality of life. We have the largest TV production centre outside London. Our financial services sector is growing rapidly. We have some of the best sports stadia and cultural institutions in the world. A major international convention centre is being developed in Newport. We have hosted global events such as the Ryder Cup and NATO conference. Cardiff University now ranks in the top five UK Higher Education institutions for research. For our economy to grow and flourish, there’s a widespread recognition that the Cardiff Capital Region needs major investment in its transport infrastructure. 1.5m Cardiff’s population is expected to grow to over 430,000 by 2030 Cardiff’s expected population 2030 1.6m 430,000 Cardiff’s population 2015 — We need more and higher value employment across the whole region — Metro could support the creation 350,000 of 7,000 jobs — Over 30 years, Metro could contribute an additional £4bn to the regional economy Source: 2013 Metro Impact Study 1 Stats Wales Population Projections: http://bit.ly/1KTC9Wj Transport for the future: the three main options Public transport comes in many forms, but these are the three main options that are likely to form the backbone of Metro.

  • A New Wales Transport Strategy Consultation Response
    Llwybr Newydd – a new Wales transport strategy Consultation response Introduction Transport Focus is the independent consumer watchdog promoting the interests of rail passengers throughout Great Britain; bus, coach and tram passengers across England, outside London; and users of the Strategic Road Network in England. We have a Board Member for Wales appointed by the Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales. Transport Focus welcomes this consultation. Our response is informed both by our extensive evidence base and insight gathered through the engagement of our work in Wales. Consultation questions Do you agree with our long-term vision? The vision applies across all of Wales and is equally relevant and inclusive to both people and place, needing to recognise the differences between cities, towns and rural areas. We agree that the transport system needs to be accessible, addressing barriers and sustainable. However we would want to see the transport system defining a joined-up network enabling door-to-door journeys. Our work with bus passengers1 shows that services going to more places is their second highest priority and the top priority for non- users and both sets agree that a good bus network is important to the local area (93 per cent of users and 82 per cent of non-users agree). Rail passengers2 also want this network to be effective, placing good connections in the top half of their priorities for improvement; but the National Rail Passenger Survey3 (NRPS) shows the most recent satisfaction with transport connections for Wales and Borders is only 65 per cent. Achieving the vision will be dependent on the delivery, monitoring and evaluation of the priorities, outcomes, policies and enablers which underpin the vision.

In January 2009, the Local Government Minister, Dr Brian Gibbons asked this Commission to review the electoral arrangements in each principal local authority in Wales. Dr Gibbons said: “Conducting regular reviews of the electoral arrangements in each Council in Wales is part of the Commission’s remit. The aim is to try and restore a fairly even spread of councillors across the local population. It is not about local government reorganisation. Since the last reviews were conducted new communities have been created in some areas and there have been shifts in population in others. This means that in some areas there is now an imbalance in the number of electors that councillors represent.
