Newport West Central railway station is a proposed station on theEbbw Valley Railway in the city ofNewport, Wales.
The station is proposed inSEWTA's Rail Strategy[1] to serve the Monmouthshire Bank redevelopment area.[2] The site for the station is on Bideford Road, adjacent to the Harlech Retail Park.[3] Access to the Monmouthshire Bank redevelopment area will be via the original Western Valley Line bridge over theSouth Wales Main Line.
The station received attention from the Welsh Government in 2011 following queries made by South Wales East AMJocelyn Davies,[4] but has in recent years been neglected in favour ofstation reopenings in the Cardiff area.
Following the decision by First Minister Mark Drakeford in 2019 to reject theM4 relief road proposal,[5] up to £1.4bn is available through the Welsh Government's borrowing facility[6] for improving infrastructure in and around the south east Wales M4. Reopenings in Newport have as a result been again debated.[7]
