The North Wales Metro (Welsh: Metro Gogledd Cymru; originally the North East Wales Metro;[i] Welsh: Metro Gogledd-Ddwyrain Cymru) is a rail and bus transport improvement programme in north Wales. Styled as a "Metro", it is conceptually a multi-modal system with a combination of bus, heavy rail, and light rail services. It was initially focused on linking major settlements and employment areas of the north-east of Wales with the North West of England, with its hubs located in Wrexham, Chester and Deeside, although the programme has since expanded, with proposals extending to Anglesey in the north-west of Wales. The existing Borderlands (Wrexham to Bidston, Birkenhead) line forms a core rail component (a "spine") of the network, where projects to increase connections, integrated access, and service frequency between Wrexham, Deeside and Liverpool are centred upon.[1] The proposals were put forward in 2016 as is part of Welsh Labour's plan for north Wales.[2][3][4] Labour has pledged to open the system by 2035. The proposals were included in the 2018 Wales & Borders franchise contest.[5] It is the second of the three regional metros proposed by the Welsh Government to go ahead, after the South Wales Metro, and before the Swansea Bay and West Wales Metro. The project is described to be in its initial phases.[6]
