High Speed 2 Line
(asked on 21st February 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to publish the outline business for the Phase 2b Western Leg.
This question was answered on 24th February 2023
A business case for Phase 2b Western Leg was published at the point of deposit for the High Speed Rail (Crewe to Manchester) Bill in January 2022. A further update was provided in June 2022 to reflect changes to the Bill brought about by an additional provision to remove the link to the WCML at Golborne.
We will continue to provide updated economic assessments of HS2 at key decision points for the programme, as it has been done to date.
