PLANS for electrification of the main rail route from London to South Wales were welcomed when Labour unveiled the plans last year, but have come under threat since government cuts got under way.
Fears that the £1bn programme to upgrade the London-to-Swansea route could be cut as part of the Government’s austerity programme first arose in July when it was confirmed by Transport Secretary Philip Hammond that it was part of a wide-ranging review of government spending.
The plans – which were announced by the Labour Government last year – could now be shelved due to the coalition Government’s £83bn cuts programme.
Upgrading the Great Western main line could cut up to 20 minutes off journey times from London to Swansea. Mr Hammon
Anyone who has found themselves buried in debt may be feeling stressed and overwhelmed. While they could work with creditors themselves and come to some type of payment arrangement, the task is often too time consuming and it does require patience and a lot of knowledge. Hiring a professional may be the solution for you in this instance. However, you first must learn how to choose the best debt relief company.
First, to find the best debt relief company, you must realize they are all different. You must be very cautious of any business that will try to guarantee they will settle your debts for a set fee.

WALES’ manufacturing industry has been credited with driving above average levels of growth compared to the rest of the UK last month.
It means Wales enjoyed a healthier level of business expansion in July than London and the south-east of England, which have been affected by a slowdown in the service sector.
The findings come in the latest Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) from Markit Economics, which shows that the Welsh private sector economy entered the second half of the year with higher output underpinned by a further expansion of new business and a slight rise in employment.
However, continued spare capacity at Welsh firms resulted in a further reduction in backlogs of work.
The latest data also point to an easing of price pressures, as both input costs and output charges rose more slowly.
At 54.8 in July, down marginally from 54.9 in June, the headline seasonally adjusted Business Activity Index – which measures the combined output of the region’s manufacturing and service sectors – signalled that the pace of expansion was fractionally lower than in June and the least marked in four months.
The manufacturing sector remained the driver of overall expansion.
Tim Moore, economist at Markit Wales, said the figures were the reverse of the trend seen earlier in the year when Wales was behind the UK average.
