Halton Curve Railway Line

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress has been made on reopening the Halton Curve railway line.

Answer

Following its inclusion in the Liverpool City Region Growth Deal, Merseytravel is managing the development and delivery of this devolved scheme on behalf of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. I understand that the business case for the scheme is expected to be considered by the Combined Authority at its meeting in April. If approved, work is expected to begin in June 2017 and be complete by May 2018.
