Caroline Ansell – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Caroline Ansell on 2015-11-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the effect on Eastbourne’s local economy of potential reductions in connectivity of future rail projects along the South Coast; and if he will make a statement.

Claire Perry

No plans for reducing rail services to/ from Eastbourne are being considered by the Government or rail industry.

In developing its successive rail investment strategies and specifying rail franchises, the Government carefully considers the impacts on local economies.
