Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the expected journey times of passengers between London and Northallerton for (1) the existing train service, and (2) the proposed HS2 service using average proposed transfer times for changing trains.
Comparing fastest journey times, the existing train service between London and Northallerton is 2 hours 24 minutes, and under HS2 would be 1 hour 53 minutes assuming an average 10 minute interchange at York.
