Note: I put this thread is speculation as there is nothing concrete whatsoever so anything discussed would be speculative.
Just announced today is a sort of confidence and supply agreement between the Welsh Labour government and Plaid Cymru on how Plaid will support the Labour government following an agreed agenda.
Part of the agenda says this:
''Public transport – Ask Transport for Wales
(TfW) to explore the development of transport
links between North and South Wales, including
how to protect potential travel corridors on the
west coast of Wales. We will continue to press
ahead with Metro developments to improve
connectivity and encourage people to switch
to public transport. We will ask TfW to work
with local authorities in North West Wales and
the Welsh Government to develop plans for an
integrated transport system.''
Now this is nothing concrete, but I think it's clear that both parties want 'better' connections between south and north. Whether that's faster services, more frequent services or something else.
And, yes, I know some will say it's better to improve North Wales to Liverpool or Cardiff to Manchester, but that goes against political reality where politicians want better services between south and north Wales.
So what ideas do you think TFW could put forward to improve North-South links?
