Frankly unbelievable that it took so long to get this far. I'm not one for shouting about Public Enquiries, but there needs to be a mechanism to hold government to account for delays like this. It took the Welsh Government almost 3 years to decide on something the local authority had already approved.

  1. 2 years, 3 months, during which time there have been 3 administrations

  2. Honestly saw this getting blocked for some rare mud slugs or newts.

    Delighted to hear it’s going through, will be a huge benefit to the East of the city.

  3. 3 years…not bad. Just take a look at the Portished line reopening in Bristol. Over 30 years and they need another 50 million for consultancy.

    TBH, Wales isn’t doing too badly with reopenings and building railway infrastructure

  5. Should every meaningful building project have to receive approval from the government? Feels like micromanaging.

  6. So chuffed this is finally getting built. It’s good to see the East finally getting some much needed love

  7. Can’t believe it took this long, I remember when my wife was selling her house in st Mellon’s we debated holding on until this was approved as we assumed it was a formality back then.

  10. I can see this taking commuters off the A48. Which is nice.

  11. Genuinely surprised there are no train stations east of Cardiff city centre
