The MP for Taunton and Wellington said: “Good evening everyone. “Understandably, I’ve had quite a few questions about the Wellington Train Station project that is currently under review. “Just to let everyone know, I have a meeting with the Government’s Rail Minister next week and will let you know what is happening as soon as possible.
“Thank you for your patience, Gideon.” Back in July, Gideon’s calls to bring in the Wellington Train Station were answered as the new chancellor of the exchequer confirmed that the original plans were still set to go ahead in parliament. In his first question in Parliament, Gideon Amos asked whether projects like Wellington Station, which had already received stage four investment funding, would still go ahead.
“I can give assurances that projects which have already started, like the station he mentioned, will go ahead," Reeves said. In response, Gideon Amos said: "I was keen to use my first intervention in Parliament to challenge the Chancellor to confirm the new Wellington Station project and it was good to get her assurance so early in the new Parliament that the new station will continue to go ahead - but I won’t be leaving anything to chance." “Having worked in my previous job to successfully deliver a new now fully opened station, I’m now not stopping until we’ve delivered the new station Wellington deserves, and which former LibDem Jeremy Browne became the first MP to propose in Parliament back in 2014.
