tabling member printed	Lord Patten
uin	HL12569
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2019 answer text <p>Network Rail’s 2015 Wessex Route Study concluded that the forecast levels of growth between Salisbury and Exeter did not justify the need for additional sections of double track. Therefore, upgrading the single track sections of the line between London Waterloo and Exeter to double track is not a priority in the next Control Period (CP6). Further consideration may be given to this matter in Network Rail’s long term planning considerations for subsequent control periods.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 17/01/2019 13:21:38 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
