answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>Our current assumption is that up to two high speed trains an hour, to and from London, would be able to serve Sheffield station without the need for extra capacity, if the proposals on which we are currently consulting for the HS2 route in South Yorkshire are confirmed. We are also investigating routing up to two further HS2 services from Birmingham to Leeds through Sheffield. This would require an additional northern junction which is also covered in the current consultation.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 06/12/2016 11:45:58 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2016 answer text <p>The Rotherham to Sheffield Tram Train pilot project has been subject to review. This is due to problems with Network Rail’s complex programme of works to modify the heavy rail network in order to allow the operation of the innovative tram train vehicles. The final outcome of this review work is still being considered.
