The UK Railways Bill going through the House of Commons today does nothing to address the decades of underfunding of Welsh railways.
Plaid Cymru is clear: Welsh rail should be in Welsh hands.
It’s time to end this injustice and devolve rail to Wales.

Plaid Cymru acted to protect services, to stop sky-high council tax bill rises, support our NHS and to make sure the next Welsh Government is on a more sustainable position after the election next year.
It's time for new leadership in 2026 with a Plaid Cymru Government.

If passed as is, Labour's Welsh Budget would be disastrous for our public services - and could lead to *double figure* Council Tax increases or thousands of job cuts. 🤯

Welsh workers will be disproportionately hit by Labour’s decision to freeze the thresholds on income tax.
This means less money in people’s pockets to cope with the cost of living.
Labour’s ‘partnership in power’ isn’t delivering for Wales at all 😔

Wales already generates twice as much energy as it consumes. Independence would allow Wales to take charge of its energy, ensuring Wales’ needs are prioritised over Westminster’s interests.
