Next Stop - Swansea

When we established a presence at the Technium in Swansea back in February, there was some concern raised about the City's distance from London. The UK Government clearly listened.

On today's BBC Website, come details of a £1bn plan to electrify the main rail route between London and Swansea, to be announced by the UK government.

They say the electrification will lead to cost savings in the running of trains - and the £1bn Great Western investment, funded through Network Rail borrowing, will be repaid over 40 years.

Splendid.
