Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the timetable is for the reconstruction of Haughley Junction and adjacent track on the Great Eastern Main Line.
The Initial Industry Plan (IIP) for the England and Wales rail network will be presented to Government in September 2016. On the basis of the findings of the Anglia Route Study, I anticipate that upgrades in the vicinity of Haughley Junction will feature in the IIP. During 2017, the Government will provide an indication of which elements of the IIP it wishes to fund from 2019.
