<p>The Department received the report in question last week, with officials currently
reviewing its conclusions. We recognise the critical importance of the East Coast
Main Line, and, having invested £400m in infrastructure since 2014, plan to invest
up to a further £780m on upgrades from 2019. This has already helped to deliver a
significant programme of infrastructure improvements, with further works currently
underway. In addition, the roll out of the new fleet of Azuma trains continues, helping
to deliver increased capacity, improved reliability and passenger comfort.</p><p>
