High Speed 2 Line: West Coast Main Line Asked by: Martin Rhodes (Labour - Glasgow North) Thursday 16th July 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of HS2 on West Coast Mainline services between London and Glasgow. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) HS2 will deliver faster, more reliable journeys between London and Scotland, while providing additional capacity on the West Coast Main Line to support improved rail services. The final timetable has not yet been agreed and will be subject to consultation closer to the start of service. However, current assumptions involve maintaining the frequency of services from London to Glasgow and delivering significantly faster end-to-end journeys for passengers.

In its latest advice to the government, the CCC said that climate change is already disrupting life in the UK and said that the UK’s national approach to climate adaption is “not fit for purpose”. It has also argued that the government’s third National Adaptation Plan (NAP3) is not adequately preparing the UK for climate change.

Through its inquiry, the Committee will consider whether the government’s current approach to adaptation goes far enough and what changes are needed to improve the UK’s resilience.
