The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of funding for transport to support the Universal United Kingdom resort will be allocated to (a) improving the Bedford - Brighton Thameslink route and (b) the Croydon Area Remodelling Scheme.

Answered by Keir Mather

My Department is working with all Universal United Kingdom resort delivery partners to refine our transport infrastructure plans. At this point, the focus of investment is a new railway station at Wixams, upgrades to local roads and upgrades to the A421 slip roads. Together, these investments will improve connectivity, support economic growth and create opportunities across the UK.
