An idea that occurs to me every time I see discussions of HS2: might it perhaps be more environmentally-friendly and pragmatic to turn over our railways entirely to freight, moving countless lorries off the roads? Or is our rail network so sparse that you’d still need lots of lorries doing the “last mile” (or 50 miles) hops? Is there a good source to read on the relative costs/benefits of passenger vs freight rail?

METRO ROW: Carmarthenshire councillor blasts ‘Swansea-centric’ transport vision

The latest row follows the unveiling of a long-term vision for a Swansea Bay and West Wales Metro — a plan that has been talked about for years but is still yet to secure full funding.

As previously reported in our coverage of the proposed £1.4bn transport overhaul for the region, the Metro has been billed as a transformative project to improve rail, bus and active travel links across south west Wales.

But critics now say the reality is falling far short of the ambition.

Carmarthenshire councty councillor and Green Party Senedd candidate, Rob James has launched a scathing attack on the latest announcement, branding it a “political stunt”.

He warned that the plans risk becoming “increasingly Swansea-centric”, with little clarity on what they will deliver for communities outside the city.

The Metro vision, backed by Welsh Government transport secretary Ken Skates and Swansea Council leader Rob Stewart, sets out a long-term ambition for improved connectivity across the region.

It includes proposals for new stations, better integration between transport modes and, in the longer term, the possibility of light rail or tram-style systems.

However, despite the big-picture vision, the scheme remains at an early stage — with no fully confirmed, ring-fenced funding in place for major infrastructure.

That lack of detail has become a key flashpoint.

Cllr James said:

“The latest announcement on the Swansea Bay and West Wales Metro should be called out for what it really is — a political stunt.

“The announcement provided little hope to the residents of Carmarthenshire that we will have reliable, affordable public transport in our county in the near future.”

He pointed to what he described as an imbalance in the proposals, claiming that multiple new stations or hubs are planned for Swansea, while Carmarthenshire appears to have been left with little concrete benefit.

“Despite the Metro having been discussed for the last ten years, we are still at the early planning stage with no ring-fenced capital funding allocated,” he said.

“The vision is becoming Swansea-centric… If we are to work collaboratively in our region, all areas must reap the benefits and I will not allow my county to be short changed.”

The comments come at a sensitive time, with the future of transport investment emerging as a key issue ahead of the next Senedd election.

Cllr James, who was formally the leader of the Welsh Labour group on Carmarthenshire Council before defecting to the Green Party, accused Welsh Labour politicians of attempting to “hide the lack of progress” on the Metro, calling for a shift away from what he described as “wish lists”.

“We need a Welsh Government that doesn’t support wish lists, but instead rolls up their sleeves and gets on with the job of modernising our public transport network,” he added.

Supporters of the Metro argue that the project is a long-term strategy designed to unlock economic growth, improve access to jobs and reduce reliance on cars across the region.

But with no firm timeline for delivery of the biggest elements, questions remain over when — or if — communities beyond Swansea will see real change on the ground.

For residents across Carmarthenshire, the concern is a familiar one — that major regional projects are announced with fanfare, but take years to materialise, if at all.

The debate over who benefits most from the Metro is now likely to intensify as more detail — and crucially, funding — either emerges or fails to do so.
