UIN 1053, tabled on 16 October 2019

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to his Department's policy paper, Rail network enhancements pipeline: autumn 2019 update, published on 16 October 2019, when he plans to publish the (a) timescales and (b) costs for the development of those schemes.

The inclusion of an individual scheme in the Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline (RNEP) Update does not guarantee its delivery. The Government subjects each scheme to continual assessment for it to progress to the next stage of the pipeline. There are no plans to publish the timescales and costs of schemes separately.
