Abellio took its decision after much of Carillion's rail assets were bought by rival Amey, which is involved in one of the rival bids, and left it unable to continue. In a statement, Economy Secretary Ken Skates said the Dutch-owned company "has taken the regrettable decision to withdraw its bid having been unable to overcome the impact of Carillion's liquidation". He added: "We have two strong bidders remaining in the process and remain on target to award this exciting contract in May 2018 and to transform rail services in Wales and borders from October 2018." An Abellio spokesman said: "Following the liquidation of Carillion PLC on Monday 15 January, Abellio Rail Cymru has taken the decision to withdraw from the Contract Letting Process for the Wales and Borders Rail Service and South Wales Metro competition.” FRANCHISE TO BE AWARDED IN MAY 2018 AND BE OPERATIONAL IN OCTOBER 2018 The following is a transcript of a recent debate in the Senedd between Leanne Wood AM, the leader of Plaid Cymru and Ken Skates AM., Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport. LW: Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on the award of the next rail franchise? KS: Yes, of course. Transport for Wales are currently assessing the three bidders for the next Wales and Borders rail services and the South Wales Metro, and the contract will be awarded in May 2018 and it will be operational from October of this year.
