As Wales enters a pivotal period of investment and transformation, this year’s programme focuses on practical collaboration, strategic planning, and the lessons that will shape the next decade of rail delivery.
A central feature of this year’s conference is an in-depth update on Network North Wales — the multi-billion-pound programme set to reshape connectivity across the region. Delegates will hear the latest on:
- Electrification and modernisation of the North Wales Main Line

- Metro-style service ambitions across the region
- Integration with local authorities and cross-border partners
- How the programme will unlock economic, social, and environmental benefits

- What has worked well
- Where challenges have emerged
- How delivery models, governance, and collaboration can be strengthened
- How innovation and supplier engagement can accelerate outcomes
