Railways: Highways England

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many historic railway estate structures Highways England is considering for infilling or demolition in (a) West Yorkshire and (b) England.

Answer

As part of Highways England’s 5-year plan for its management of over 3,000 Historical Railways Estate structures it has developed a programme of works to maintain safety. These works include repair, strengthening and refurbishment of structures, which can also include infilling or demolition where necessary.

There is no activity planned in West Yorkshire.

This programme is under internal review; and infilling and demolition works are currently only planned on a very small number of structures.
