Torfaen County Borough Council is continuing to work with Network Rail and Transport for Wales to open the new facilities at Pontypool and New Inn station as soon as possible.

Any new facility of this nature is subject to industry regulation and there remains some outstanding historical issues, that need to be resolved before the facility can be granted authorisation to open. Unfortunately, resolving these issues has led to some delays, but they are being addressed to ensure the facility meets the strict criteria, necessary for an operational railway environment.

Torfaen County Borough Council is hoping that works will begin on site in September with the aim of opening the station by the end of the calendar year.

All parties are working hard to make sure these works are completed, to deliver a brand new station which is both compliant and fully accessible for the local community.
