'Bottlenecks' on North Wales rail line set be cleared by new rail funding
Major bottlenecks holding back rail expansion in North Wales are set be cleared as part of the UK Government's additional funding for Wales. Labour Chancellor Rachel Reeves, has confirmed a £445 million boost to rail funding in Wales - which comes after decades of under-investment in the Welsh network. Part of that money will be spent on a vital improvement to the Wrexham-Liverpool line, as well as upgrades to the North Wales mainline. Last month, Welsh Government Transport Secretary Ken Skates put forward plans for increased train services between Wrexham and Bidston (Liverpool) to two trains per hour within the next three years. But to expand it further he said works were needed at the Padeswood cement site on the line in Flintshire. The current infrastructure creates a blockage at this point when freight trains come in. But the new funding announced will now pay for an investment in changing that at the site. This will allow four trains an hour to run between Wrexham and Liverpool. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox The extra money will also pay for development work to relieve capacity constraints at Chester station, another factor holding back the growth of rail services in North Wales. Transport Secretary Ken Skates MS said: 'Last week I said that I, as well as Eluned Morgan, and Jo Stevens, felt confident we could do no more to convince the UK Government of the case for improvements to rail infrastructure in North and South Wales. 'Today the UK Treasury shows they have listened. After 14 years of Conservative governments who refused to listen, we now have two governments working together to address this crucial issue that impacts so many people across Wales.' Wrexham MP Andrew Ranger and MS Lesley Griffiths said: 'Today's news is a win for Wales and a win for Wrexham. Improvements on the line between Wrexham and Liverpool will benefit the local economy and connect communities across both sides of the border. 'Wales was starved of rail funding under the previous Conservative governments and we welcome this long-overdue investment. This is a clear example of two Labour Governments working together for the benefit of the people of Wales.' But Plaid Cymru Westminster leader, Liz Saville Roberts MP said: 'The announcement of £44.5 million a year for Welsh rail over the next decade is Labour's flimsy fig leaf to excuse the multi-billion-pound, multi-decade scandal that is the Welsh rail injustice. Today's funding is only meaningful if it matches what Wales will continue to lose from HS2 and all other English rail projects in the future. 'Labour hopes a few token projects will distract from deep cuts to vital services that hit the most vulnerable hardest, all while shifting the goalposts on Welsh funding. The unfair Barnett formula remains open to manipulation, just as the recent example of the Oxford-Cambridge line displayed, with the Treasury bizarrely claiming that a railway line in the south-east of England would benefit Wales. "For Wales, today's statement was more smoke and mirrors. It's time to deliver the fair funding Welsh communities desperately need and deserve.' Welsh Conservatives leader Darren Millar said: "Today's rail spending announcement is an insult to the people of Wales. "The previous UK Conservative Government invested over £1bn in rail infrastructure between 2014 and 2024, and promised over £1bn more to deliver the electrification in North Wales. Shameful."

Facing tariffs, Vietnam requests support from American clothing brands
Hanoi - Hanoi invited American textile companies to support Vietnam with the Trump administration in its efforts to avoid a 46 percent tariff that would damage trade between the two countries. Vietnam, which mass-produces clothing and footwear for international brands, worked tirelessly to meet the demands of its main client, the US. Industry and Trade minister Nguyen Hong Dien met with the American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA) in the US on Monday, April 7. The AAFA represents over one thousand brands, distributors and manufacturers. The ministry made the announcement on Tuesday evening. Dien, responsible for conducting the negotiations on behalf of his government, also spoke with 'major American groups', including Gap, Levi Strauss and Under Armour, according to the ministry's statement. 'The minister reaffirmed Vietnam's availability to be a reliable partner in the global supply chain and expressed the desire to strengthen cooperation for fair and sustainable trade,' according to the statement. President Donald Trump's obsession with restoring the American trade balance caused concern for Vietnamese authorities, who rely heavily on exports to continue the country's economic development after decades of war. Trump threatened to impose a 46 percent tariff on goods purchased from Vietnam, including textiles, if an agreement that would balance trade was not reached in the coming weeks. In 2024, the US purchased around 136 billion dollars worth of goods from Vietnam and sold 13 billion dollars worth of goods. The 123-billion-dollar deficit, up 18 percent year-over-year (YoY) from 2023, was the third highest total for Washington, after China and Mexico. This week, American companies based in Vietnam urged the White House to reduce the tariffs it planned to impose. Hanoi also made several gestures towards American companies and the Trump family, who recently launched the construction of a 1.5-billion-dollar luxury hotel complex near Hanoi in partnership with a local developer. Vietnam also committed to purchasing over two billion dollars worth of American agricultural products. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.
