PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
High Speed 2 Line: South Yorkshire (27 January 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the estimated cost is of the Meadowhall station and viaduct as part of one option for the High Speed 2 route through South Yorkshire; and whether that cost has changed since the original route was announced.

Asked by:
Mr Clive Betts (Labour)

The financial case for Phase 2b, published in November 2016, set out that the cost of the route including Meadowhall station would be £858m higher than the option of serving Sheffield Midland station. This comparison in costs reflects estimates that have been updated for the Meadowhall route since they were originally produced.
