Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the timetable is for the Power Supply Upgrade Phase 2 on the East Coast Main Line to be completed.
The power supply on the East Coast Main Line from Doncaster to Edinburgh is being upgraded incrementally to support the introduction of the new Intercity Express trains and other electric rolling stock. Upgrades around Doncaster are planned for delivery in 2019 and the full set of upgrades is planned to be in place by the early 2020s.
