Another round of storms will develop in the south late on Friday before spreading northwards across most of the UK during Friday night and into Saturday.
It said it was the "cornerstone of the UK government's plan to address decades of underinvestment in critical infrastructure that has held back the Welsh economy".Rail funding has become a totemic issue in Welsh politics, with the lack of knock-on funding for Wales from High Speed 2 repeatedly raised with the First Minister Eluned Morgan.
The first minister has publicly called for more rail spending from the UK government - one of a list of calls she has made on Sir Keir Starmer in recent weeks.Politicians say if High Speed 2 had not been classified as an England and Wales project, Wales would be owed between £431m - according to finance secretary Mark Drakeford - or multiple billions, according to Plaid Cymru and previous sums used by senior Labour figures including Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens.The extra money is not connected to HS2, although Labour was keen to make a symbolic link.
Party sources, and former transport minister Lee Waters, said the sum is more than Wales would have had from the high speed rail project.Welsh Transport Secretary Ken Skates and others have lobbied the UK government figures on a range of projects recommended by transport reviews looking at north and south Wales.
They include new stations at Cardiff East, near the city's Newport Road, and in the west of Newport.
There are hopes for a station in the eastern Newport suburbs of Somerton and Llanwern, and one that will serve the Monmouthshire villages of Magor and Undy, along with improvements to the mainline to allow local services to run.Niall Walker, 25, from Lovis Media Ltd, told them he was not expecting significant congestion as many revellers were likely to travel via public transport, arriving at Grantham Railway Station and using a shuttle bus to reach the site.
He also explained there would be a minimum of 10 security staff on site during between 09:00 BST and midnight, with numbers dropping by four during quieter hours.Mr Walker said if successful, he hoped the festival would become an annual event.
"There are a lot of festivals struggling at the moment, it's a very difficult industry."I know a lot of people whose favourite festivals have just been cancelled and we'd love to help create a new home for those people."
