The development will make a significant contribution to the regeneration of east Cardiff and the growth ambitions of the Cardiff Capital Region. The development has the potential to support up to 6,000 jobs, as well as becoming a transport hub, helping people access other employment opportunities across South Wales and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>SLC Rail has been working with the Cardiff Parkway team since the early stages of the project providing design and planning support including timetable and operational framework modelling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Ian Walters, Managing Director of SLC Rail said: \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s great to be ending the year revealing the designs for this proposed railway station. \u00a0As a specialist in this area with 53 station projects under our belt, we\u2019re really excited to be part of this development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been particularly impressed with how all the partners and stakeholders have worked together, each demonstrating a real collaborative spirt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Nigel Roberts, Chairman of Cardiff Parkway Developments, said: \u201cOur proposals are for a sustainable, well-connected garden business district with public transport and active travel at its heart. This unique development will bring investment to an area that has long suffered from underinvestment, create new employment opportunities, and better connect people in this region of south east Wales. We are aiming to deliver convenient and quick services, with a high-quality customer experience, particularly for public transport and active travel, to encourage sustainable transport to become the obvious choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWhile the unprecedented challenges we\u2019ve all had to endure over the last two years have impacted our programme, our team is as motivated as ever. We have been working hard with key stakeholders to prepare to deliver the scheme and we\u2019re delighted that Sir Peter Hendy has endorsed Lord Burns\u2019 report where Cardiff Parkway is one of the key recommendations. We are really looking forward to making that recommendation a reality for everyone by starting on site next year as soon as our planning application is determined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: \u00a0Wilkinson Eyre<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More detailed designs have been revealed for Cardiff Parkway, a proposed new railway station to the south of St Mellons Business Park, following endorsement by the Burns Commission and the Hendy Review.
