Written Question
Midland Main Railway Line: Electrification
Monday 20th July 2015

Asked by: Amanda Solloway (Conservative - Derby North)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he expects work on the electrification of the Midland Mainline to resume; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Claire Perry

On 25th June the Secretary of State announced that work on Midland Main Line electrification was being paused pending Sir Peter Hendy’s proposals this autumn on re-planning the Control Period 5 programme, at which point the Secretary of State will make a statement to the House. It would be premature to speculate now on the outcome of the re-plan.
