POLITICIANS, academics and business leaders are due to attend a meeting on electrifying the rail route to Swansea next month.

Swansea West MP Geraint Davies brought together stakeholders to create a united voice for the "Swansea Bay City Region" in May.

The proposed region would cover Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, representing a population of 750,000 people.

Last year the UK government announced the Great Western mainline would be electrified from London to Cardiff but not extended to Swansea.

The next meeting of stakeholders is on July 13 between 11am and 12.30pm at Swansea Civic Centre.
