To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many miles of new railway line they estimate will have been laid in the United Kingdom by 2020.
This question was answered on 13th July 2015
Her Majesty’s Government is not able to make an estimate of the amount of new railway line to be laid by 2020. However, the Government is supporting £38billion of Network Rail spend from 2014/15 to 2018/19 and this includes £13billion on enhancements and £12billion on renewing life expired parts of the network.
