Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of reopening the Poulton-le-Fylde to Fleetwood rail line.
Business case development from 2023 found a tram-train solution as the most promising option to connect Fleetwood and Poulton-le-Fylde, but it offered “poor” value for money. No further DfT funding has been prioritised in this Spending Review. It is now for Lancashire County Combined Authority to decide whether to prioritise further work.
