Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the stretches of single line track on the Waterloo–Exeter mainline on train punctuality.
This question was answered on 3rd November 2017
The Secretary of State for Transport has made no recent assessment of the impact of the stretches of single line track on the Waterloo – Exeter mainline on train punctuality. Network Rail’s Wessex Route Study concluded that the forecast levels of growth between Salisbury and Exeter did not justify the need for additional sections of double track.
