The cheapest way to improve a rail link from north to south would be to rebuild the Carmarthen to Aberystwyth rail linke and go up via the coast. After that, there's only a very short section of railway (currently used by one of the heritage railways) that's not part of the main network.
I don't know how long the travel times would be, but at least getting to Aberystwyth via Carmarthern must be quicker than going via Shrewsbury.
Fortunately, there are some ongoing studies about doing just that and it is something that the Welsh Government is keen on doing. Costs permitting of course.
