Railways: East Midlands
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will review the re-opening of the Northampton to Market Harborough railway line.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Government believes that local transport authorities and local leaders are best placed to prioritise and take forward transport projects which are most appropriate for the areas they serve, particularly where they will support economic growth, job creation, more and better housing, and, ultimately, demonstrate a good business case. I would encourage him to continue to engage with local stakeholders further on this.
