The future design, calling pattern and frequency of network services once HS2 opens will be developed openly, and in partnership. </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 24/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
