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.

Remind me again why we need nuclear reactors?
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.

For more than 45 years, the UK has suffered not one, but two economic curses: the resource curse and the finance curse. Both were chosen, primarily by Margaret Thatcher.

London: 7°C - Pitlochry: -2°C
Yet the person freezing in Pitlochry pays more for electricity — electricity generated in their own town.
Meanwhile, London, which produces almost none, pays less.
This isn’t just unfair. It’s exploitation. And it’s happening in Scotland every single day.

Wales was promised that things would improve under Labour’s ‘partnership in power’.
But Wales still hasn’t received the billions owed from HS2, no control over our natural resources, and hit hardest by Labour’s taxes.

Wales has lost out on billions of £ from Labour’s unfair spending decision 😏
Plaid Cymru calls on the Chancellor to deliver a budget that works for Wales.
This includes £4BN from HS2, a halt to damaging taxes on family businesses and farms, and action on high energy bills.
