West of England Line
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the stretches of single track railway on the Waterloo–Exeter mainline on the economy of south-western England.
- Answer
-
The Secretary of State for Transport has made no recent assessment of the impact of the stretches of single line track on the Waterloo – Exeter mainline on the economy of South-Western England. Network Rail’s Wessex Route Study concluded that the forecast levels of growth between Salisbury and Exeter did not justify the need for additional sections of double track.
