Section six. Complementary information

Transport for Wales (‘TfW’) is currently working to transform the Wales and Borders Rail Service and is developing plans for implementing and operating a South Wales Metro. The vision is to provide a service that is truly 'turn up and go', with better integration with other modes of transport, including buses, and flexible ticketing options. Travellers will be able to move easily across the south-east Wales region with improved capacity, improved quality and improved passenger information.

TfW has appointed a multi supplier framework for Assessment Body and Nominated Body services for stations across the network.

The works will cover all stations across the network.
