Gobowen-Oswestry Railway Line
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will hold discussions with rail companies on reopening of the Oswestry to Gobowen railway line.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Chancellor’s statement of 29 July 2024 confirmed that the Restoring Your Railway programme would be brought to a close, which included the proposed scheme to reopen the line between Oswestry and Gobowen. Proposals from the former Restoring Your Railway programme will be considered in the current Spending Review. There are no proposals to consult with rail operators on schemes whilst the Spending Review is ongoing.
