VALLEY LINES CONCESSION

摘要

The Welsh Government aims to begin procurement of a vertically integrated Valley Lines concession this summer, in the hope that circumventing Network Rail will enable enhancement works to benefit from time-limited European Union grant aid. It will invite bidding consortia to present their own ideas on the mix of heavy and light rail and the most appropriate methods of resignalling and electrifying local railways in the Cardiff city region. It is taking this approach because it believes that railways have been 'messed up' by people who'don't know what they're doing' prescribing rolling stock and signalling.
