To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have made any assessment of the relative impact on Merseyside’s economy, compared with Manchester and Leeds, if HS2 did not reach Liverpool.[HL5696]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have made any assessment of the relative impact on Merseyside’s economy, compared with Manchester and Leeds, if HS2 did not reach Liverpool.[HL5696]
The initial preferences that were announced by the Secretary of State for Transport on 28 January include a connection with the west coast main line at Crewe to ensure that key destinations in the north-west, including Liverpool would benefit from direct HS2 services. However, no assessment has been of the relative economic impacts.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have plans to extend the plan for HS2 to reach Liverpool as well as Leeds and Manchester. [HL5606]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have plans to extend the plan for HS2 to reach Liverpool as well as Leeds and Manchester. [HL5606]
The Government’s initial preferred route announced on 28 January included a rail hub at Crewe that will be used to provide frequent, fast services to Liverpool and other key destinations in the north-west. This hub will enable direct high speed trains to continue seamlessly to destinations like Liverpool reducing the journey time to one hour and 36 minutes from the current two hours and eight minutes.
Over the coming months, the Government and HS2 Ltd will work with MPs, local authorities, station city delivery partners and others, including environment and heritage organisations, to refine the proposals that were announced.
This period of engagement will then be followed by an extensive consultation on the preferred route, stations and depots to begin ahead of schedule later this year. This will be designed to give the public the greatest possible opportunity to comment on the plans. The final route will be chosen by the end of 2014.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will investigate whether the construction of all current High Speed Rail plans could be accelerated and completed within 10 years.[HL5173]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will investigate whether the construction of all current High Speed Rail plans could be accelerated and completed within 10 years.[HL5173]
The Government are keen to make progress with the project to deliver high speed rail in the UK and are looking to speed up the timetable wherever possible. Delivering in two phases is intended to ensure rapid and early progress. By the end of this year we plan to submit the hybrid Bill for phase one and to commence consultation for phase two, earlier than previously planned. The parliamentary processes for securing powers for the construction are likely to be complex and lengthy and seeking powers at a later stage for phase two is likely to help reduce the scale of the task and speed up the commencement of construction. The Government will continue to look for opportunities to speed up the process.
