Lewis Brencher, Communications and Customer Director at Transport for Wales (TfW), expressed his enthusiasm for Bourgeois’ participation: “It’s great to be hosting Francis Bourgeois at our Public Transport Summit as it gives us a unique chance to showcase our new trains and buses while encouraging more people to use them.
TfW, says they have worked hard to enhance the customer experience on public transport, including an £800 million investment in new trains across the Wales and Borders network, the addition of modern, electrified buses to the TrawsCymru network, and a billion-pound investment in the South Wales Metro. We’re seeing more people using our public transport services, and we want to keep building on that momentum.”
The summit will also provide a platform to discuss the latest advancements in public transport, including the introduction of modern electric buses and innovative rail services, as TfW continues its mission to modernize the transport infrastructure throughout Wales.
