East-West Rail Link
(asked on 12th December 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what provision for rail freight is planned for the Western Section of the East West Rail project.
This question was answered on 21st December 2017
The East West Rail (Western Section) programme will retain all existing freight paths. 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.
