Written question asked by Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat) on Wednesday, 30 July 2014, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 13 August 2014. It was answered by Baroness Kramer (Liberal Democrat) on Monday, 4 August 2014 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Jubilee Line

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Kramer on 28 July (WA 257–8), whether they have considered conducting a reassessment, 10 years after the last, of the benefit-cost ratio of the Jubilee Line extension; and whether they intend to carry out any similar assessments of other infrastructure projects.

Answer

The Mayor and Transport for London (TfL) are responsible for the Jubilee line. TfL have no current plans to undertake a further evaluation of the benefit-cost ratio of the extension.

The Department for Transport takes a structured approach to understanding the benefits of projects once delivery of those projects has started. Actively managing the realisation of benefits will improve value for money and maximise the benefits for passengers.
