Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 2 July 2015 to Question 4668, whether cost overruns and potential delays on Network Rail's enhancement programme were discussed at the Performance Delivery Group meeting of 24 March 2015.

The meeting focused on the operational performance of the railway and how it is serving the needs of passengers, including the industry’s readiness to manage services and communications to passengers during the engineering works planned at Easter, but it did not discuss issues around the cost or programming of the enhancement programme itself.
