The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate she has made of the level of weekly passenger demand at the new Tempsford railway station.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

No formal assessment on forecast weekly passenger demand at Tempsford has yet been made – however, early work provided by Network Rail and East-West Rail Company has provisionally classified Tempsford as a Category C station, which could see 500,000 to 2,000,000 passengers annually.
