Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Vere of Norbiton on 25 February (HL1519), whether they plan to initiate a further upgrade of power supply to cater for any increase in the demand for rail freight or passenger services.
This question was answered on 11th March 2020
The development of the Integrated Rail Plan for the Midlands and the north will identify whether further upgrades of the power supply, beyond those already planned within the £1.2 billion East Coast Main Line Enhancement Programme, are needed to support extra rail freight or passenger services on the route.
