Lord Bradshaw – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Bradshaw on 2016-06-07.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of whether the Office of Road and Rail has adequately evaluated the impact of inter-city trains on the East Coast Main Line sharing the tracks approaching London with Thameslink services providing 24 trains per hour through the core section.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
No such assessment has been made by the Government. However, in making its own assessment, the Office of Road and Rail were aware of the requirements of the planned Thameslink service.
