The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment Network Rail has made of the need for a new East Coast Mainline station at Alconbury Weald.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department are aware of the long-standing local aspirations for an East Coast Main Line station at Alconbury Weald that would align with the new housing being developed in the area. We continue to work closely with the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government to ensure an integrated approach to infrastructure planning.
