The Welsh Government’s flagship South Wales Metro rail electrification project is on track to come in over budget.
Its arm’s length transport body, Transport for Wales, said at this stage it couldn’t give any indication as to the expected overspend, with a range of projections currently being worked through, but it is likely to run into tens of millions of pounds.
Transport for Wales has already confirmed that completion of the project, which has a budget of £734m, is not expected until 2024, rather than the initial aim of 2023.
