Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will hold discussions with Network Rail on the adequacy of the timetable to complete repairs at Northwich rail station.

The station building exterior is planned for substantial completion by 29 January 2024 with further work planned to fit out the interior. We are working with our colleagues at Northern to confirm shortly.

Some of the scope of the work is outside of Network Rail ownership and we are liaising with ArchCo and the local authority to plan the work needed.

The reopening of the building and waiting room will be announced when the programme for the internal specification is finalised.
