New and cascaded rolling stock is being progressively introduced over the next few years , which will
be more environmentally friendly than its existing fleet . It is also introducing the UK ’ s first hybrid train , the Class 230 , on the Wrexham to Bidston service , combining the use of modern batteries with lightweight diesel engines . To further reduce the environmental impact of public transport , TfW also unveiled state-ofthe-art electric buses earlier this year , based at a new depot in Camarthen .
Transport transformation
In terms of social responsibility , TfW is passionate about championing diversity and equality in the industry . The organization is one of the major sponsors ( alongside
the Welsh Government ) of the Women in Transport Wales hub , for example , which launched in 2022 . As an inclusive and collaborative community for all transport industry professionals in Wales , the hub conducts research and showcases success stories with the purpose of educating people about women ’ s work and experiences in the transport sector , as well as identifying entry barriers .
With an aim to promote the use of active travel or public transport by 40 percent by 2040 , TfW is continuing to heavily invest in these areas . The Welsh Government ’ s Active Travel Fund ( ATF ) falls under its umbrella of responsibilities , aiming to improve access to walking , wheeling , and cycling routes throughout Wales .
