Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has considered funding in the 2019 to 2024 spending review for the Brighton Mainline 2; and if he will make a statement.
The Department has not yet begun the process of formally considering options for funding during railway Control Period 6 (2019 to 2024). When this process formally commences in 2015, it will likely identify a range of potential options for investment, some of which may include elements of the wide ranging proposals, collectively known as "Brighton Main Line 2."
