Egis Transport Solutions Ltd have been supporting key stakeholders in Wales since 2019 including Transport for Wales (TfW) and Network Rail.

Over the past three years, TfW has created Metro networks which will be developed in Wales over the next decade: North Wales Metro, South Wales Metro and Swansea Bay and West Wales Metro.

The multi-million-pound North Wales Metro Programme will transform rail, bus and active travel services across North Wales. It will make it easier and faster to travel across North Wales and build better connections with the Northwest of England. This will help create more opportunities for local communities and support inward investment for the area.  

The Programme will also improve connectivity between North Wales and key destinations within the UK with links to HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail, helping to meet the decarbonisation agenda of both the Welsh and UK Governments and their commitments to be carbon neutral by 2050.
