Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the estimated cost saving if the Golborne Link was removed from the High Speed Rail Phase 2b Western Leg project.
This question was answered on 8th June 2022
As part of its work on the Economic Case for the January 2022 Update on the Strategic Outline Business Case, Government undertook a sensitivity for the removal of the Golborne Link. This estimated that the removal of the Golborne Link would be expected to reduce the overall cost range for HS2 Crewe-Manchester to £13bn to £19bn (Q3 2019 prices), a cost range reduction of £2bn to £3bn.
