Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of investing in rail infrastructure on the West Midlands Network to increase capacity on services to and from Telford; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Lord Johnson of Marylebone
Capacity to and from Telford will be increased through the introduction of a second off-peak service on the Wolverhampton corridor from 2018.

Lucy Allan (Independent - Telford)
Question
to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will discuss with Highways England the effect on traffic flow of the traffic lights at junctions (a) 4, (b) 5 and (c) 6 of the M54.
Answered by Jesse Norman
- Shadow Leader of the House of Commons
The traffic lights at junctions 4, 5 and 6 on the M54 do not affect the flow of traffic on the M54 itself and are not the responsibility of Highways England. The surrounding roads at all three of these junctions are managed and maintained by Telford and Wrekin Council. They will be best placed to advise on the effects these lights have on traffic flows on the surrounding roads.
