Railways: Cleethorpes

Asked by Melanie OnnLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 2 September 2024UIN 2093

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress her Department has made on the planned direct train link between Cleethorpes and London Kings Cross.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

We are working with industry to address the timetabling, financial, operational, and infrastructure issues that need to be resolved before a service to Cleethorpes can be introduced; once the East Coast Mainline timetable change has been implemented.

We are considering proposals put forward, with final approval subject to a thorough business case process.
