The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of naming the new station Wixams for Universal once the Universal UK theme park opens.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

While the Department for Transport does not directly determine station names, it recognises the importance of names reflecting local identity and supporting wider community and economic objectives. Any proposals for naming will be considered by the rail industry (including consultation with local stakeholders) in due course.
