  • New Rail Stations Prioritisation: Stage 2 Assessment Report
    New Rail Stations Prioritisation – Stage 2 Assessment Report, April 2019 Background 1. Whilst it is recognised that rail infrastructure investments sits with the UK Government, we need to develop a project pipeline so that, when UK funding opportunities occur, there are Welsh projects at an appropriate stage of development that can be submitted for consideration and stand a chance of securing funding. 2. We receive a number of requests for new stations from stakeholder groups. A prioritised list of new stations will allow us to focus resources on those that merit more detailed consideration. 3. Proposals for new stations have come forward from a range of sources. A proportionate assessment mechanism has been developed to establish which proposals are feasible and warrant further, more detailed study work. This will ensure that a pipeline of new schemes is available to take advantage of future funding opportunities. Methodology 4. A methodology has been developed for assessing proposals for new rail stations which can be applied in a cost effective and proportionate way. The assessment methodology follows a three stage approach. This will mean that the more costly work on producing detailed cost estimates for a new station and timetable modelling is only carried out on the highest priorities: Stage 1 – An initial sift of stations using the Welsh Transport Appraisal Guidance (WelTAG) criteria and consideration of the Well–being and Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 goals (See Appendix 1 - Stage 1 Assessment Report, May 2017). Stage 2 – A preliminary assessment of the strength of the financial and economic case for a new station and advice from Network Rail on deliverability.

  • Skull Orchard Revisited Art, Words & Music by Jon Langford with David Langford Photographs by Denis Langford
    Skull Orchard Revisited Art, Words & Music by Jon Langford with David Langford Photographs by Denis Langford Verse Chorus Press Portland 7 London 7 Melbourne INTRODUCTION An ugly, lovely town (or so it was and is to me) . This sea town was my world; outside a strange Wales, coal-pitted, mountained, river-run, full, so far as I know, of choirs and football teams and sheep . , moved about its business which was none of mine. – Dylan Thomas, Reminiscences of Childhood I was born on the border, and we talked about ‘the English’ who were not us, and also ‘the Welsh’ who were not us. – Raymond Williams The songs on Skull Orchard are mostly about Newport, the ugly, lovely town I was born in, and the not so strange Wales beyond. My mum was from the valleys and my dad was from the ’Port. Like Raymond Williams, he thought of himself as neither English nor Welsh, but on that point he and my mother would never agree. Her family was full of miners, rugby players, pigeon fanciers – there was even the odd Welsh speaker. I moved up to Leeds in 1976 (the year they closed most of Llanwern steelworks) and then to Chicago in 1992, but the eyes of an exile can’t help looking back, and I can’t help going back there. Newport is full of ghosts for me now, and sometimes when I walk the streets of the town centre I feel like a ghost myself – lost, gone, unrecogniz- able . an invisible man. My dad used to take me and my brother Dave down to the docks on Saturday mornings to see the big Soviet cargo ships and the squat little tugboats.
