Answer
The Anglia Route Study, published by Network Rail in 2016, assessed the case for investments in the Great Eastern Main Line. We will consider investment options under a new process for rail enhancements, which we will set out early in the New Year. The new process will focus our rail investments on delivering outcomes for rail users, building on the Government’s recent commitment to make around £47.9bn available for rail investment over the period 2019-2024.
