We look to be edging slowly further down the tracks towards confirmation of new rail funding in Wales.
Transport Secretary Ken Skates – who appears to be growing in certainty that something is about to arrive – told the Senedd on Wednesday that he has been trying to persuade the UK government to pay for five new stations between Cardiff and the Severn Tunnel.
All will be revealed at Chancellor Rachel Reeves's spending review next week, but a fortnight ago Skates was "very very confident" Wales would do well and on Tuesday he said that a "pipeline" of work had been agreed with the UK government.
The Welsh government is also thought to be pushing for investment in north Wales including improvements at Padeswood and just over the border in Chester – vital for improving services on this side of the border.
The south Wales plans would involve stations at Cardiff East, Newport West, Somerton, Llanwern, and one serving the villages of Magor and Undy.
Morgan said back in January that talks were taking place on investing in new stations between Cardiff and the Severn Tunnel, the cost of which was put at around £335m by a transport commission.
The Welsh government has also recently published – largely unfunded – plans for a metro service in north Wales.
Providing funding would make logical sense – Reeves wants to invest in big infrastructure projects – and political sense too with Welsh Labour up against it in the polls 11 months from the Senedd election.
UK government sources are not pushing back against the prospect that funding for rail improvements might be forthcoming and BBC Wales has been told that next steps on transport infrastructure spending will be set out at the spending review.
It is understood that the Welsh Secretary, Jo Stevens, has been pressing hard to get the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, and the Treasury, and I am using Eluned Morgan's words here, to "cough up" on rail.
But, even if Morgan were to get the money needed for those schemes, she will still face accusations from opposition parties and many within Welsh Labour that Wales continues to be short-changed.
They argue that Wales should be funded with anywhere between hundreds of millions and billions more pounds, as a consequential for schemes being built in England but which are designated England and Wales projects.
And they would like the classification of some of the most prominent, and controversial ones, changed.
