Thursday 8th January 2015

Asked by: Ian C. Lucas (Labour - Wrexham)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the estimated cost is of the Phase 1 and 2 modular rail signalling improvement planned to take place in North Wales in 2015.

Answered by Claire Perry

I have been advised by Network Rail that the costs of the Phase 1 improvements between Rockliffe Hall and Llandudno is planned for completion in summer 2016 at a cost of £45-50m.

Phase 2 between Llandudno and Holyhead is planned for completion in CP6 (2019-24). The scheme is in the early development stages and details about cost and delivery dates will be established up on completion of this development work.
