Ebbw Vale Town railway station
- Ebbw Vale Town railway station
Ebbw Vale Town station has been identified as a possible future terminus for the Ebbw Valley Line.
Under the proposals of stage two of the project a half hourly service would be introduced and a two platform station would be built to act as the northern terminus of the line close to the old British Steel General Office Site part of "the Works" development.
In the 2008 Network Rail Route Utilisation Strategy the link between Ebbw Vale and Newport is identified for implementation in the period 2009-2018. The project depends on future funding and the future infrastructure works in the Newport and Crosskeys to Llanhilleth area.
A feasibility study for stage two is currently underway. Funding for the project would come from the Welsh Assembly Government and many other stakeholders. Significant obstacles must be overcome before the second hourly service can be introduced and for the time being the enhancement is viewed as an "aspiration". A commitment to the project either way will be made in the future.
