PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
London, Tilbury and Southend Line (8 July 2014)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of the planned investment in stations on the Essex Thameside line during the new franchise agreement with NXET Trains Ltd will be funded by the (a) franchisee, (b) Network Rail and (c) the public sector in each case.

Asked by:
Ms Diane Abbott (Labour)

The standstill period for the Essex Thameside franchise competition has not yet concluded, as such the Department has not signed the new Franchise Agreement and we are not able to confirm this information at this time. An announcement will be made shortly once the Agreement has been signed.
