Department for Transport written question – answered am ar 22 Hydref 2019.
Chris Ruane
Shadow Minister (Wales)
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of the budget for High Speed Two has been allocated to rail infrastructure improvement projects from Holyhead to Crewe.
Paul Maynard
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
Our current plans would see passengers in North Wales benefitting from an HS2 interchange at Crewe, with shorter journey times to London and improved cross-country connectivity. The Government has also funded recent major signalling and track renewals to improve reliability on the North Wales Coast Line. In addition, we have recently funded work on a strategic outline business case for delivering journey time improvements on the North Wales main line.
