Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to progress plans to re-double the North Cotswold Line.
The Department is currently considering the Strategic Outline Business Case resubmitted by the North Cotswold Line Task Force in February 2021, which sets out their proposals for transforming services on the route. A decision on whether the scheme can enter the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline will be made shortly.
