Mr. Browne: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what discussions she has had with (a) Railtrack and (b) the Strathclyde
Passenger Transport Executive about financial support for the improvement of rail links to East Ayrshire. [159298]
Mr. Foulkes: The Government are determined to deliver a safe, modern and high quality railway system. Investment in the railway
industry in Scotland, and indeed elsewhere in the UK, is principally a matter for the industry itself. As part of Railtrack's
national regeneration scheme, £1.85 million has already been invested in the refurbishment of Kilmarnock Station. Furthermore,
Strathclyde Passenger Transport Executive has committed funds to extend car parking at Kilmarnock station to 111 spaces, effectively
doubling capacity.
The Strategic Rail Authority, under the guidance of the Scottish Executive, has asked Railtrack to cost a number of enhancement
options. One option being considered is the creation of a two mile dynamic loop between Stewarton and Dunlop, which would
effectively double the single track. This option would have the potential to increase service frequency between Kilmarnock and
Glasgow.
