answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2024 answer text <p>All the projects within Network North will be progressed and developed in line with the principles of Project Acceleration in a Controlled Environment (PACE), which is the approach used by Network Rail to govern, manage and progress rail enhancements. Many of these projects are at the start of that process, reflecting their nature as new priorities, while other schemes had already made progress ahead of the announcement. The project was initially proposed by Durham County Council who led on the initial development work. Since being confirmed for progression, the Department has further developed the project's business case, looking at route capacity, station locations and has updated the forecast costs. The next PACE stage for the Ferryhill station project will be Engineering Stage 1.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 22/01/2024 14:39:50 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
