Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to fund a feasibility study for the Uckfield to Lewes railway line.
The Department is inviting MPs to work with local authorities and community groups to come forward with proposals to explore restoring railway lines and stations closed in the cuts in the 1960s and 1970s, using the £500m we have made available. Should the Uckfield – Lewes line be put forward as a proposal with appropriate local support, we will consider the case for funding a study.
