The Welsh Government confirmed on 6 October 2026 that it will prioritise the development of Magor and Undy Walkway Station, hopefully bringing the long-campaigned project a step closer to reality.
The administration announced it is establishing an official delivery board to oversee and fast-track the project. The station is set to be backed by a portion of the £445 million investment allocated for Welsh rail improvements by the UK Government.
Welsh Government appears to be treating our community-led “Walkway” design as a key priority. Local politicians, including Monmouthshire MP Catherine Fookes, have welcomed the prioritisation but are actively pressing the government for exact board member details and a firmer construction timeline.
While we wait for the exact details to emerge, we will continue to engage with the authorities, passing on our 14 years of gained knowledge of the initiative, to try to help accelerate the delivery of our long-awaited station.
A further update will follow after our next group meeting which will now take place in early December.
Thank you for your continued support.
