Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Davies of Gower on 16 May (HL4380), for what reason they do not have an inventory of pathways and roads that Network Rail have constructed next to railway lines; and what is the cost of the pathway being constructed south of Crewe Station.

Network Rail has identified that it has an incomplete record of pathway assets, that is why it is undertaking a national project to address this.

The pathway south of Crewe Station has an anticipated cost of c.£600k.
