PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
High Speed 2 Line (18 July 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to publish the decision on whether to create a (a) parkway station on the M18 route and (b) northern loop from Sheffield connecting to the main High Speed 2 railway.

Asked by:
Sarah Champion (Labour)

Together with TfN, the government is continuing to work with HS2 Ltd and Network Rail in support of aspirations including Sheffield to Leeds connectivity; and work is also continuing on a parkway station. Details are set out in paras 6.4 and 6.14 of the “HS2 – Concept to Reality” document (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hs2-from-concept-to-reality).

We are looking to develop a clear set of proposals on these options - which relate directly to the HS2 network - before the end of 2017.
