Question
What is the Welsh Government doing to improve the connectivity between rail and bus services in Pembrokeshire?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Transport and North Wales
Transport for Wales is working with Pembrokeshire County Council to explore opportunities to better integrate bus and rail services across the county. This includes, for example, ongoing work to further improve connections between TrawsCymru bus and rail services at Haverfordwest and Fishguard stations.
The Welsh Government has provided £39m to local authorities for FY2024/25 via the Bus Network Grant (BNG), which is in addition to the annual £25m Bus Services Support Grant provided to local authorities. The BNG requires local authorities to improve coordination and connectivity with other public transport services where possible.
