Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate his Department has made of the economic value of the East Coast Main Line to the UK economy.
This question was answered on 14th November 2017
The Department has not made an assessment of the economic value of the East Coast Mainline as a whole. However, the impact of improvements to East Coast Mainline services are considered as part of their appraisal, including any wider impacts on the UK economy.
The East Coast Mainline is a critical service supporting economic activity, connecting cities and businesses across England and Scotland.
