(asked on 27th June 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the cost of the High Speed Two station at Birmingham airport; and how that station will be funded.
This question was answered on 6th July 2018
The High Speed Two Birmingham Interchange Station, near Birmingham Airport, is funded from the £55.7bn funding envelope (in 2015 prices). The estimate of the cost and funding arrangements are commercially sensitive.
Last year the Chancellor announced £300m of funding for making passive provision on HS2 for junctions which would allow HS2 infrastructure to accommodate potential future Northern Powerhouse Rail and Midlands Connect services.
