| rdfs:comment | - Under the proposals of stage two of the project a half-hourly service would be introduced and a two-platform station would be built to act as the northern terminus of the line close to the old British Steel General Office Site part of "the Works" development. In the 2008 Network Rail Route Utilisation Strategy the link between Ebbw Vale and Newport is identified for implementation in the period 2009-2018. The project depends on future funding and the future infrastructure works in the Newport and Crosskeys to Llanhilleth area.

| abstract | - Under the proposals of stage two of the project a half-hourly service would be introduced and a two-platform station would be built to act as the northern terminus of the line close to the old British Steel General Office Site part of "the Works" development. In the 2008 Network Rail Route Utilisation Strategy the link between Ebbw Vale and Newport is identified for implementation in the period 2009-2018. The project depends on future funding and the future infrastructure works in the Newport and Crosskeys to Llanhilleth area. A feasibility study for stage two is currently underway. Funding for the project would come from the Welsh Assembly Government and many other stakeholders. Significant obstacles must be overcome before the second hourly service can be introduced and for the time being the enhancement is viewed as an "aspiration". A commitment to the project either way will be made in the future. In May 2013 the Welsh Government made the announcement that the Ebbw Vale line will be extended from the existing terminus at Ebbw Vale Parkway to the new station site at Ebbw Vale Town. At total of £11.5 million has been agreed, not only to fund for the station but also for the surrounding areas as well as the line. Two weeks later, funding was also agreed for Pye Corner railway station, also along the line.
