Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to implement the Gibb Report's recommendation that stabling facilities and a depot be made available in Crowborough.

As soon as we received the report, the Department assessed Chris Gibb’s technical recommendations against work or commitments that were already planned or underway. Chris Gibb’s recommendation to provide stabling facilities are related to his recommendation to electrify the Uckfield Line. These proposals will be further assessed in light of available funding, as part of the development of our infrastructure upgrade plans for Control Period 6, covering 2019-2024.
