Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which railway stations have been (a) built and (b) reopened in the last 20 years; whether his Department has made an estimate of the number of jobs created (i) directly during the first two years of constructions, (ii) indirectly during the first two years of each constructions and (iii) overall in each project; and what data his Department holds on the cost of each project.
The Office of Rail and Road publishes data on the authorisation into use of new railway infrastructure (including new stations and lines) since 2019 at: https://www.orr.gov.uk/guidance-compliance/rail/health-safety/laws/interoperability/authorisations
The Department does not routinely hold information on levels of job creation across all station and line projects and is unable to answer the timeframe requested as this would incur disproportionate cost.
