Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to page 25 paragraph G of the policy paper entitled Network North, published on 4 October 2023, whether he plans for Waverley to be a new railway station on the existing line between Sheffield and Worksop; and whether the reference to Waverley will include the Barrow Hill railway line between Sheffield and Chesterfield hat was listed in his Department's news story entitled Moving Ahead to Reopen Railway Lines and Stations, published June 2022.

The new Waverley station will be located on the existing Sheffield to Worksop line, between Darnall and Woodhouse stations. This station project will be developed separately from the wider Barrow Hill line reopening project. Should timetabling on the route permit, the new Barrow Hill service will call at Waverley to enable a higher frequency, all-day service.
