Railway Stations: Alconbury Weald
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of a new station at Alconbury Weald as part of the East Coast Mainline Programme.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Following the conclusion of the Spending Review, I can confirm that there are no current plans to construct a new East Coast Main Line (ECML) station at Alconbury Weald. The Department recognises the importance of the ECML and is working with Network Rail and industry stakeholders in developing a sustainable long-term strategy of investment for the route.
