Written Question
East Coast Railway Line: Scotland
Wednesday 10th February 2016

Asked by: Lord Campbell of Pittenweem (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what recent discussions they have had with the Scottish Government about the future electrification of the East Coast Main Line between Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

Answered by Lord Dunlop

UK and Scottish Government officials have regular discussions regarding transport policy, and the rail industry is undertaking studies to identify the best value cases for further route electrification in Scotland, England and Wales. The introduction of bi-mode intercity express trains on East Coast Scottish services from 2018 is expected to help the business case for electrification between Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
