Railways: Infrastructure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many rail infrastructure projects in England with a capital value below £50 million are behind schedule.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Network Rail is delivering hundreds of projects across the country to maintain and upgrade the rail network. Of the projects currently delivering on site with an anticipated cost of less than £50 million, 144 are currently forecasting to complete after their original baseline completion date. Projects can be delayed for various reasons including scope and design changes, supply chain and resource constraints, and the need to work within limited access windows on a live operational railway.
