East Coast Railway Line: Freight

(asked on 28th June 2018) - View Source

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to increase freight capacity on the East Coast Main Line.


This question was answered on 4th July 2018

The East Coast Main Line Enhancements Programme aims to provide the freight capacity required to meet the forecast increase in demand. The planned grade separation of Werrington Junction will enable freight traffic to more easily access the Great North Great Eastern line. This line runs parallel to the East Coast Main Line and provides good quality freight paths between Peterborough and Doncaster via Lincoln.
