	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2021 answer text <p>The Integrated Rail Plan noted that there is a strong case for a connection to the West Coast Mainline (WCML) north of Crewe and that the Union Connectivity Review (UCR) was considering this further. The UCR, undertaken by Sir Peter Hendy, has considered whether any alternatives to the Golborne Link could further improve connectivity to Scotland. Evidence from the Review suggests that alternative connections to the WCML could slightly reduce journey times further compared to the ‘Golborne Link’. However, Sir Peter states that it is clear that further work is required to better understand the case for and against any such options; and has recommended the Government review options for alternative connections north of Crewe between HS2 and the WCML. The government will respond to Sir Peter’s recommendations in due course.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson grouped question UIN 80918 question first answered 30/11/2021 14:46:55 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
