Answer

Ms Keeble: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what representations he has received about the upgrade of the West Coast Mainline from rail users in Northampton. [45317] Ms Glenda Jackson: The West Coast Main Line remains a high profile rail infrastructure project which attracts a high level of public interest. On 7 April I met a delegation from Northampton to discuss service issues for Northampton. As part of the consultation process I understand that the Rail Regulator consulted both local authorities (County and District) and the RUCCs on the WCML upgrade.
