Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the timeframe is for a decision on proposals to four-track Leicester Station.

Network Rail will be producing a Strategic Outline Business Case for the suite of interventions identified in their Leicester Strategic Area Advice to accommodate future growth. The business case will consider enhancement proposals including four-tracking to the south of Leicester Station and we expect the case to be submitted to the Department for assessment in Spring 2022.
