Railways: Bristol
(asked on 4th February 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of fully reopening the Henbury Loop rail line to passenger trains in Bristol.
This question was answered on 9th February 2015
The Department has made no assessment regarding the merits of fully reopening the Henbury Loop railway line, as this is a matter for West of England Partnership (WoEP) to consider. As part of the Growth Fund, we have made available £3.2m for the development work for MetroWest Phase 2 and if WoEP would like to pursue this option further we are happy to work with them.
