A ROW broke out today between the Welsh government and Westminster after a Tory announcement of a potential new railway station in St Athans in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Transport Secretary Mark Harper visited the marginal parliamentary seat with local MP Alun Cairns and claimed that the Tory government is supporting plans to improve rail links in the region.

But eagle-eyed locals took to social media to point out that the commitment was only to fund the development of a business case to look at options for a new station in St Athan — not a new station itself.
