The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of potential impact of reopening Littleworth Railway station at Deeping St Nicholas on the local economy.

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.

Reopening Littleworth railway station is currently not a government priority and our focus remains on improving the reliability of the existing network.
