Blaenau Gwent Labour leader Hedley McCarthy has requested an urgent meeting with First Minister Rhodri Morgan to discuss the potential rail link between Ebbw Vale and Newport.The local Labour party is campaigning for the link and will be travelling to Cardiff to express the views of local people. Council leader Hedley McCarthy praised the work of the Welsh Assembly Government in working with the council to deliver the rail link between Cardiff and Ebbw Vale.Councillor McCarthy said a link to Newport would connect the borough to the two main economic centres of south east Wales and would potentially lead to more investment and employment opportunities throughout Blaenau Gwent.He said that although he was delighted with the link to Cardiff he believes it is vital that a link to Newport be established as soon as possible.

Perhaps they might also look into the daft & pointless bus lin which has a journey time 20 minutes longer then the train journey. Its so daft no one uses it so we are paying for two buses to run around empty all day. What a waste of money.
