PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
High Speed 2 Line (20 July 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate his Department has made of the construction and electrification costs to enable HS2 trains to run from Sheffield Midland to Crofton; and whether those costs are included in HS2's budgets.

Asked by:
Mr Clive Betts (Labour)

We do not provide cost breakdowns for specific items of the HS2 programme due to commercial sensitivities.

The section of route you refer to is discussed in paragraph 4.12 of the Phase 2b Financial Case, published in July: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hs2-phase-two-financial-case

This Financial Case will be updated ahead of deposit of the Phase 2b hybrid Bill in 2019.
