Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what enhancement projects on the East Coast Main Line have been identified to progress through the Rail Network Enhancement Pipeline process.

The Government is committed to transparent policy making and intends to make clear public statements as we take investment decisions on enhancements.

In due course we will be publishing details of schemes which have received a strategic outline business case. Additionally, Network Rail will continue to provide updates on the progress of enhancements, through the quarterly publication of its Enhancements Delivery Plan.
