Ron Davies, Plaid Cymru’s Assembly candidate for Caerphilly, said: “I’m realIy disappointed at this news. But it really is crocodile tears from a weak and ineffective Assembly Member who has failed to secure funding for this project since he was elected in 2003.
“The Labour Government in Westminster had 13 years to ensure Wales received fair funding. Wales is being shortchanged to the tune of £300m a year. If Labour had secured the funding Wales is due, Energlyn station would have been built and opened by now. But they did nothing.
“Projects like this are crucial to regenerating Caerphilly and, if I am successful in May’s Assembly elections, I will make it a top priority whoever is in power, either in Cardiff or Westminster.”
