Network Rail: Roads
Asked by: Lord Blencathra (Conservative - Life peer) Friday 24th May 2024 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Davies of Gower on 16 May (HL4380), for what reason they do not have an inventory of pathways and roads that Network Rail have constructed next to railway lines; and what is the cost of the pathway being constructed south of Crewe Station. Answered by Lord Davies of Gower - Shadow Secretary of State for Wales Network Rail has identified that it has an incomplete record of pathway assets, that is why it is undertaking a national project to address this.

East Coast Main Line: Timetables
Asked by: Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat - Life peer) Friday 24th May 2024 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Davies of Gower on 13 May (HL4207), what impact the rigidity of the Network Code has had on the revision of train timetables on the East Coast Main Line; and what consideration they have given to instructing the parties, including the Office of Rail and Road, to revise the code to enable a satisfactory timetable to be delivered. Answered by Lord Davies of Gower - Shadow Secretary of State for Wales The industry steering group that oversees timetable introduction concluded that there were too many outstanding issues to have confidence that the new East Coast Main Line timetable can be delivered robustly in December 2024.
Timetable production and access rights issues are governed by Network Rail’s Network Code, which is regulated by the ORR as the independent regulator to the rail industry. We expect the rail industry to work through these issues in order to deliver the upgraded timetable and realise the benefits of £4bn investment in track and train on the East Coast Main Line. |
