Helen Jones – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Helen Jones on 2016-06-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will re-assess the business case for the Hoo Green to Bamfurlong spur of the second phase of High Speed 2 to take account of the decision to place the train depot at Crewe rather than Golborne.

Mr Robert Goodwill

HS2 Ltd and the Department for Transport have been analysing route and station options in light of responses received following the Phase Two consultation. It would not be appropriate to go into detail on any individual location before a route decision has been taken. A route decision is planned for autumn 2016.
