East-West Rail Link: Freight
(asked on 30th November 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what capacity for rail freight is included in the remit for the reopening of East West Rail.
This question was answered on 13th December 2017
The East West Rail Western Section programme will retain all existing freight paths allowing continuing access to the FCC Environment waste terminal in the Calvert area. The programme is already protecting future rail freight growth, with Network Rail in the process of completing surveys to determine the level of works required to create additional freight paths. A decision will be taken in early 2018 considering the value for money of the options available.
