question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the building developments in Stratford, the Olympic Park, and the Lower Lea Valley, what practical steps they are taking to ensure that Eurostar stops at Stratford International in future.
tabling member printed	Lord Mawson
uin	HL4480
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2015 answer text <p>I recognise the international importance of the HS1 network in allowing high-speed rail services from London to reach Europe, whilst noting that no international services currently serve Stratford International station.</p><br /><p>Eurostar, in which the government recently sold its 40% stake, accesses the HS1 network on an open access basis and is not subject to the terms of a franchise agreement or a contract let by government. Government has no power to direct or specify that Eurostar stops at Stratford International station. A decision made by Eurostar not to serve Stratford International would be as a result of commercial imperatives and priorities, for example, the potential revenue derived from customers using the station or the increased journey time which a further stop would involve. It would not be appropriate for government to interfere with that decision-making process.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/12/2015 12:40:22 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
