The buzz (sorry for the pun) around Westminster amongst Welsh MPs is that they’ve been told to expect an important statement from the Transport Secretary Philip Hammond tomorrow (Thursday). I haven’t yet had confirmation from the Department for Transport that this is the case, but I gather the MPs have been told it will affect Wales. Is this the long-awaited announcement about the electrification or otherwise of the rail line from London to South Wales?
