The BBC yesterday mentioned an ambitious plan to improve the west and south Wales’s rail provision:

Major plans to halve train journey times and build new stations unveiled - BBC News

Chiefs are backing a joint rail deal which they believe will add an extra £17bn to the UK economy.

Looking at Western Gateway Partnership’s “Rail Deal” document , it looks like a very serious plan with lots of data and a lot of involved organisations.

I’m curious what happens next, these organisations must think there’s a chance of some funding or they wouldn’t have invested so much in this work. Does anyone know more?
