The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress has been made on the reopening of the Camp Hill line in Birmingham.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

My officials are in regular contact with West Midlands Rail Executive and the West Midlands Combined Authority, who are reopening the Camp Hill line with three new stations at Moseley, Kings Heath and Pineapple Road.

Construction is close to completion; the stations are expected to be open for public use early next year.
