Hmmm... Most of the South Wales Metro funding came from either Wales or the EU. Westminster's not going to be paying the EU share of that kind of thing again. Not when it can build a railway from London to Birmingham and pretend that it's an EnglandandWales project.

It is an England-Wales project though, because rail isn't devolved to Wales like it is to Scotland. There's no such thing as an England rail project. Admittedly the impression given by Labour in opposition that a load of Barnett consequentials were due was, to say the least, not very helpful.

Wales is more like a more powerful metro mayoralty than Scotland. There's about £200m from Westminster for the South Wales Metro, you're right, a small proportion.
