Anger as Oxford rail line classed as England and Wales project
Published: 6/3/2025

The Oxford to Cambridge rail line project has sparked anger as it is classified as an England and Wales project, despite no tracks being laid in Wales. This move means Wales will miss out on additional funding for its rail network, leading to criticism from Welsh politicians and the TSSA rail union. The disagreement highlights ongoing issues with funding distribution and classification of major infrastructure projects like HS2 that impact rail investment in Wales.
