Written Question
Railways: Liverpool
Monday 22nd April 2024

Asked by: Gavin Williamson (Conservative - South Staffordshire)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what additional work his Department plans to carry out within (a) the Edge Hill Cutting, (b) the station throat and (c) to the platform arrangements to accommodate extra services to the southern approach to Liverpool Lime Street as proposed by Northern Powerhouse Rail and HS2; and how much budget has been allocated to this element of Northern Powerhouse Rail at Q3 2019 prices.

Answered by Huw Merriman - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

Work on the NPR scheme between Liverpool and the Parish of Millington and Rostherne, is currently at strategic scheme development stage. This work is being carried out in line with WMS of 25 March, which set out that Northern Powerhouse Rail will develop a route that is in favour of serving Warrington Bank Quay and Manchester Airport and will use the previously proposed route between the parish of Millington and Rostherne and Manchester. A formal consultation on the remainder of the preferred route is expected to take place in due course.

Written Question
Railway Signals: Cambridge
Wednesday 31st January 2024

Asked by: Grahame Morris (Labour - Easington)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent estimate he has made of the (a) cost of and (b) timeframe for the re-signalling of Cambridge junction.

Answered by Huw Merriman - Minister of State (Department for Transport)

Cambridge Junction is due to be re-signalled with European Train Control System technology, also known as digital signalling, as part of the East Coast Digital programme (ECDP).

The overall cost of the East Coast Digital Programme is around £1.9bn. This is made up of funding from the Rail Network Enhancement Pipeline and Network Rail infrastructure renewals funding over Control Period 7 (2024-2029). Programme costs have not been broken down further to particular areas and would be complicated by factors such as the overall cost of fitting trains with the equipment required to use digital signalling, and the cost of training railway staff.

The ECDP will implement digital signalling on the East Coast Mainline southern section by 2030, with junctions along this route progressively upgraded in line with asset sustainability and alignment with the overall programme schedule. The re-signalling in the area around Cambridge Junction is expected to be ready from February this year for trains fitted with digital signalling equipment.
