The opening of two new railway stations has been given the go-ahead by the government.
Stations in Wellington, Somerset, and Cullompton in Devon will be funded by money allocated in the government's spending review.
While Chancellor Rachel Reeves did not specifically mention the stations in her speech on Wednesday, the Treasury has confirmed to the Local Democracy Reporting Service that funding would be given to the projects.
Gideon Amos, MP for Taunton and Wellington, said he was "absolutely delighted" with the announcement.
Wellington lost its station in the Beeching cuts of the mid-1960s.
A project to reopen it was among dozens of transport schemes shelved last year because of financial pressures.
But the council and developer West of England Developments (Taunton) Ltd. continued to prepare the site for the station's return.
Access to the new station, which will be built off Nynehead Road, will be provided via a new development of 200 homes, which secured outline planning permission from Somerset Council last year.
