The Leader Live has reported that a new £200 million rail upgrade ‘super-hub’ at Chester linking North Wales and the North West of England could power a pandemic bounce-back boom

The investment would include £60 million to modernise and upgrade Chester Station, £80 million to connect Wrexham to Liverpool and £20 million for a new station on Deeside.

The proposed investment package is due to be presented at Regional Recovery 2021, an online conference with Government ministers from both Westminster and Cardiff.

The rail plan aims for an initial £20 million, alongside a 20-year plan aimed at securing £1 billion of rail improvements, which could transform the North Wales and Cheshire economy and deliver 70,000 new jobs.
