	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>The impact of delays during construction of the current M6 Junctions 2 to 4 and Junctions 13 to 15 smart motorway schemes was assessed as part of the economic appraisal undertaken prior to the start of construction. This took into account various factors including the impact of the construction programme in full, lane availability and also the effect of limiting traffic speed to 50mph. This assessment gave an estimated value of £80 million for motorist’s journey time lost during construction.</p><p> </p><p>The economic appraisal also forecast that the completed schemes would give a journey time gain of £802 million to motorists.</p><p> </p><p>In July 2018, Highways England announced its intention to test whether 60mph speed limits in roadworks could be used more often. That work is ongoing, and it is anticipated that the benefits will include improved journey times for motorists.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 02/07/2019 15:19:32 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

	uin	HL16483
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>There is no either / or choice between HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR). Both projects have the potential to be transformative for the North. Whilst Transport for the North’s plans for NPR are at an earlier stage of development, they are being designed to complement HS2 and transform connectivity across the north of England.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently consulting on proposals to include passive provision for two future junctions that would one day allow NPR trains to use the HS2 route into Manchester and vice versa. These proposals have been developed with Transport for the North, and, in the future, could allow a potential new route between Manchester and Liverpool that could also be used for services between London and Liverpool.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 02/07/2019 15:20:44 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
