Network Rail launches sale of Cardiff Valley Lines
Network Rail has launched the process of selling the 137km of Valley Lines routes in south Wales to the Welsh Government.
The proposed deal, which has been notified to key people in the railway industry, is the first sale of its kind since Railtrack was created in 1994.
When it has gone through, the Valley Lines network, including Cardiff Queen Street station, will be outside the control or responsibility of Network Rail, in the same way that Transport for London already owns and maintains some 400km of railways.
