Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what written representations they have received from (1) railway businesses, (2) aviation businesses, and (3) other interested parties since 1 January on the development of a Southern Rail Link to Heathrow Airport.

The Department has been engaging with rail and aviation businesses and other interested parties to better understand their views on this scheme. This is being done as part of the work to clarify Government’s objectives for the scheme which was a recommendation of the Market Sounding Findings Report, published in December 2018.
