The announcement speaks of devolving routes rather than regions, but this must be seen as a move towards making the rail infrastructure corporation more responsive to local concerns.

If this works out then it should be welcomed. Train fares seem to be cheaper than both Bus & Car costs, unfortunately there's only one train per hour from Maesteg Station, while there are four busses; but that's up to the public to use the railway more often, it's an excellent service.
The success of the Llynfi line reopening demonstrates how short-sighted it was to restrict it to single-line working.
