The Station Improvement Vision programme will bring in new retail facilities, develop community spaces at stations and businesses opportunities for local firms.

In addition, the upgrades will see the Secure Station Accreditation programme expansion, which will be carried out in association with the British Transport Police. This will help offer safer stations for customers.

Transport for Wales CEO James Price said: “Transport for Wales is transforming transport throughout Wales and the launch of our Station Improvement Vision indicates the start of a £194m ($241m) investment programme.

“This investment into all our 247 railway stations will improve the way they look, make them safer and provide more commercial and community opportunities.”
