This is worthy of support and a study is needed to examine the business case, show engineering solutions and the project must be progressed as an investment in the social, economic, environmental and moral well-being of Wales and feed to and from the national rail network.
Please take an interest and give it the support and interest it needs.
BRTA aims to convene a public meeting in 2026 and details will be put on our website: https://brtarail.com/

The railway needs investment now! Decades of crippling closures, rationalisation and locked-in restrictions, a lack of vision, imagination for decades has crippled operations, capacity and ability to court and meet demand. Overcrowding, poor length of trains and lack-lustre frequency all takes a toll on poor image and a dis-service to areas in need of regeneration. A new deal is needed, longer trains, reinstate passing loops, reinstate a direct line from Aberystwyth-Barmouth via Dovey Junction as an end-to-end relief shuttle. Rebuilding Carmarthen-Aberystwyth and Criccieth-Bangor would enable more traffic, serve Caerarnfon and possibly bring more freight to the line. Alas, £2 billion is seen as too much, but over a 100 years longevity would probably pay for itself many time and save the railway from marginalisation as at present: https://nation.cymru/news/
End.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Pill
BRTA CEO
