Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with Network Rail regarding their plans for Old Oak Common, including on the length of disruption to Great Western Railway services, and what estimate they have made of the cost of the project.

The new station at Old Oak Common will create an interchange between HS2 and national rail services. I continue to work with HS2 Ltd, Network Rail and all train operators to minimise disruption to passengers on the Great Western Main Line, both during the construction of the station and during its operation.
