This is much needed. No idea what the plan is, but shifting the railway onto the bed of the Armaments Depot branch, so the platform and station carpark is on the same side as (and adjoined to) Havens Head Retail Park, with its petrol station and cafe, all the buses, taxis, and everything else, would seem to me to be the way to go... #MilfordHaven #TfW

Transport Interchange planned for Milford Haven railway station

Subject to confirmation of further funding contributions from Welsh Government, work could start to begin on site next year and be completed in 2026.

Cllr Paul Miller, Deputy Leader of Pembrokeshire County Council said: “We have been working closely with Welsh Government, Network Rail and the train operating companies for some time now and am delighted to be able to bring these proposals forward.

“This project is important in its own right but it’s also a key enabler for dramatically improving rail connectivity for Milford Haven and Pembrokeshire as a whole.

“A new station will do much more than simply improve the station. It will also allow for more frequent services to and from Milford Haven.

“As well as more frequent services, we are working hard with Welsh and UK Governments as well as Great Western Railways to secure the return of direct, high speed, intercity services to the town and this project includes the realignment of the platform to allow the new Hitachi High Speed Services to serve Milford Haven directly.”

The scheme involves improvement works to the existing Milford Haven train station to create a new public transport interchange by relocating the existing rail platform and providing a dedicated bus interchange between the station and retail area, along with a, taxi rank, formalised car park, public realm spaces and improved Active Travel links.

The scheme will also work in synergy with the Port Authority’s initiatives to improve walking and cycling access to the Milford Haven Dock, further encouraging tourism and urban development and links to the pre-existing retail area within the town.

Local Member and Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services Cllr Rhys Sinnett added: “If this bid is approved by Welsh Government, it will be fantastic news for Milford Haven and go a long way towards increasing and improving transport connectivity both for those visiting the town but more importantly for the residents of the area.

“The associated works with the scheme to enhance safety and parking measures as well as provide a focal point for a public transport interchange with bus services much needed in our town.”

The scheme, if supported by Welsh Government, will be delivered by Pembrokeshire County Council.

A draft design package was developed and submitted to Network Rail in December 2023 with a revised design ready for resubmission.

Cabinet approved the inclusion of the Milford Haven Public Transport Interchange as part of the Local Transport Fund Bids Grant application for 2025/26 for the sum of £6million to continue the development and phased delivery of the project.

Capital funding totalling £1.4million over 2025-26 and 2026-27 has been committed by the Cabinet.

Mid and South Pembrokeshire MP Henry Tufnell said: “It’s fantastic to see changes being made to Milford Haven Train Station. Good public transport and associated facilities are vital to communities in Pembrokeshire. I am pleased to be working alongside the Council and Welsh Government to positively impact Milford Haven.”

It was a fantastic walk around St Annes Head from Dale in the gorgeous summer sunshine. Views across Milford Haven harbour, Angle and Skokholm. Highly recommended! #Aberdaugleddau #Pembrokeshire #Fungi #Parasol #Wales #Dale #MilfordHaven #Angle #Skokholm #Cymru #WalesCoastpath

Managed to sneak in a cheeky Slow Ways from Milford Haven to Haverfordwest before the rain started. Other than a few routes from Narberth, South Pembrokeshire is conquered with over 72 miles of Slow Ways surveyed this week. Over to others to walk and get them verified! 🥾🥾#SlowWays #MilfordHaven #Aberdaugleddau #Haverfordwest #Hwlffordd #Narberth #SirBenfro #Cerdedd #Cymraeg #Cymru #Wales #SheepOfMastodon

MilfordHaven to Newgale Slow Ways adventure today. Beautiful views and weather over the area. Highlight was joining the Wales Coast Path a few miles from Newgale. My highlights include a paraglider and panaramic views across St Brides Bay. #MilfordHaven #WestWales #Newgale #Wales #Cymru #Paraglider #CoastPath #Cerdded #SlowWays #StBridesBay

Another Slow Ways adventure after a sudden change of plans. Linking up the surveyed routes by doing the short route to Pembroke to Pembroke Dock. That links up Tenby through to Milford Haven. Hopefully others can get involved to verify routes. #Pembrokeshire #HolidayWalk #Pembroke #PembrokeDock #MilfordHaven #Tenby #SlowWays #Wales #Cerdded #Cymru #DynbachyPysgod #Aberdaugleddau #Penfro #WestWales

Ventured to the Wild West today in Pembrokeshire for a Slow Ways; Neyland to Milford Haven. It’s definitely not conventional beauty, but I loved the unusual landscape and scenery between the oil refinery and estuary. #SlowWays #Pembrokeshire #Neyland #MilfordHaven #OilRefinery #Wales #industrial #Cymru #Cerdded #Verigo
