Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the progress on resignalling the Cardiff Area Signalling Renewal, the Great Western Route Modernisation, and the Oxford-Didcot resignalling projects.

The Great Western Route Modernisation programme, including these resignalling and electrification projects, is central to our ambitious plans to transform the rail network, providing faster and more reliable journeys and helping to secure long-term economic growth.

Network Rail is working hard to deliver the modernisation of the Great Western in order to achieve the outcomes outlined in the Rail Investment Strategy. We are working closely with Network Rail and the Office of Rail Regulation to ensure successful delivery.
