Newport Train Station has opened after a £22m redevelopment scheme.

Passengers at the station now have improved accessibility, with step free access from both terminals onto all the platforms.
The station also benefits from increased and improved parking facilities.
Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones said: "The redevelopment of Newport train station marks another step forward in building a more accessible and effective rail network and is testament to the ambitious programme that we have to develop an improved rail infrastructure in Wales."
"A modern integrated transport system is vital for a vibrant Welsh economy and we warmly welcome the development of this important station."
