ADDITIONAL CHEPSTOW TRAIN SERVICE WELCOMED  

12/1/11 

William Graham (Conservative AM for South Wales East and Shadow Minister for Regeneration) welcomes the announcement from rail service operator CrossCountry of extra trains to stop at Chepstow from May 2011. 

“This will be great news for local campaigners who have campaigned for many years for an increase in the number of train stopping at Chepstow railway station. I have raised this matter several times with Assembly Ministers”.  

“The additional trains will begin from 24 May 2011, when ten trains a day will stop at Chepstow on each direction of the Cardiff to Nottingham route Mondays to Saturdays. This will increase opportunities for employment, business and leisure; by allowing greater access for people to travel northbound to Gloucester, Cheltenham and Birmingham and westbound to Newport and Cardiff.
