Network Rail (30 June 2015)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department received from Network Rail in (a) final and (b) draft form (i) a full Control Period 5 recast and (b) a revised Control Period 5 Business Plan between 1 December 2014 and 30 March 2015.

Asked by:
Lilian Greenwood (Labour)

Officials from the Department for Transport and Network Rail regularly discussed Network Rail’s Business Plan update in the period of December 2014 to March 2015. In March, Network Rail provided early forecasts for the remainder of Control Period 5 for delivery volumes and costs in operations, maintenance and renewals, but these were not submitted for consideration as a worked-up plan due to further work being required, including on enhancements.
