Underinvestment in rail in Wales?

From The BBC

The Welsh economy is losing out because of a lack of rail investment, a transport expert has said.

Prof Mark Barry said Wales should be getting a lot more money, but because spending was controlled from Whitehall, England was more of a priority.

It's 39 YEARS since a station was last (re)opened in Wiltshire.  When was the last (re)opening in Wales?  What do the comparative pipelines look like?

There's a lot of investment that's is needed and should have been done in Wales some of which would have an effect on Bristol if the wires reach Swansea I know the swanline service was supposed to be increased to hourly and run to Bristol TM giving 3tph between the two  cities I know TFW still want to run to Bristol TM using an extra batch of class 756s including a stop at Ashley down
