Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take steps to build a railway line between Northampton and Market Harborough.
On behalf of sub-national transport body England's Economic Heartland, Network Rail previously prepared a feasibility study into reinstating a railway connection between the West Coast Main Line at Northampton and the Midland Main Line at Market Harborough. I encourage him to engage with England's Economic Heartland further on this.
