Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will make an assessment of the adequacy of funding provision for the electrification of rail services operating through West Lancashire.
This question was answered on 27th April 2017
The Hendy Review in 2015 re-planned Network Rail’s enhancement programme and as a result Network Rail is spending around £15bn on enhancements. A key part of this programme is the ongoing assessment of investment decisions so that passengers and taxpayers get maximum value. There are no current electrification schemes in the West Lancashire constituency in this enhancement programme.
