Passengers rightly expect high quality rail services and from Autumn 2017, passengers in Wales will benefit from the new generation of electric trains which will deliver 27% more seats, faster journey times and improved connectivity for South Wales to London with 40% more seats in the morning peak once the full fleet is in service.
