The project provides a resource for travellers, with maps and cards featuring tourist attractions, three miles from stations and bus stops.
The project has focused on several campaigns: working with tourism partners across Wales, a Ministerial Launch with Vaughan Gething MS and James Price Chief Executive at TfW, Community Rail Week at stations in Birmingham and Manchester and the Wales Rural Network Event with Visit Wales.
