Progress on the 1998 NMS
SIGNALLING We completed work on Radyr, Pontypridd and Porth track, and
signalling renewals (Taff Vale Phase 2) in October 1998.
We are completing a feasibility study on Pontypridd–Aberdare–Merthyr
Tydfil resignalling by March 2000.
To improve reliability, we have equipped 22 point-ends with new electri c
h e a t e rs, and conve rted heaters on four point-ends from gas to electric opera t i o n .
STATIONS We have completed 46 stations under the SRP. We have improved
disabled access at Porth and will install improved facilities to ensure security of
passengers in many Valleys stations during 1999/2000. We will complete a major
refurbishment of Pontypridd Station and improvements to the station forecourt
to enhance interchange facilities this year.
RHYMNEY VALLEY We have completed the feasibility study into Rhymney
Valley improvements, and SWIFT has applied for funding for the full scheme.
CARDIFF QUEEN STREET–CARDIFF CENTRAL We are due to complete a
study into options for increasing capacity between Cardiff Queen Street and
Cardiff Central by March this year.
LRT We will consider options to accommodate a possible light rapid transit
system.
