Rail connectivity between England & North Wales is vital not only to thousands of rail users but also to businesses on both sides of the border and beyond.
It was a pleasure to speak at the @360_track event & discuss their priorities to unlock the potential in our region.

🚉Chester Station Improvement work
The major improvements to the customer facilities at Chester Station is progressing well with the main gateline been upgraded and extended.

Here's @RobinMillarMP chairing our #CPC23 fringe: 'The takeaway point for me is ensuring effective collaboration between DfT, TfW and other stakeholders backed by the political will to align on the projects which will deliver for all our constituents.'
Here's @SamRowlands_ at our #CPC23 fringe: 'Two things that need to come together to deliver this vision are desire - which we all share - and practical delivery. Funding into development is important from both governments followed by capital investment.'
The Prime Minister confirms the scrapping of the Northern Leg of HS2 between Birmingham and Manchester but then commits to alternative transport investments including the electrification of the North Wales Coast Main Line.
Here's @christianwolmar from @AllStationsPod at our #CPC23 fringe: 'I’ve visited the cross-border region to learn about its complexities. This great cross-party campaign with local authorities & agencies involved has everything going for it with an important industrial element.'
Here's Ruth Wojtan @transport_wales at our #CPC23 fringe: 'Population west of Crewe is 1m but rail’s mode share in North Wales is 1% against GB average 4%. Five radial routes from Chester make improvement at this gateway to North Wales essential, similarly for Wrexham-Liverpool.'
Here's Helen Swift @AirbusintheUK at our #CPC23 fringe: 'Around 45% of Airbus's workforce cross the Wales-England border daily. The next generation of low-carbon aircraft will need a locally-based supply chain with excellent local transport for passengers and freight.'
