answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2015 answer text <p>The construction of High Speed 2 (HS2) will release capacity on the existing network, including the West Coast Mainline, reducing crowding, improving resilience and reliability across the network, and improving journey opportunities for passengers. This released capacity could also provide space for at least an extra 20 West Coast Main Line freight paths helping to meet forecast freight demand and taking lorries off the road network. Phase One of HS2 will also bring substantial benefits in its own right, providing additional capacity and improved connectivity.</p><br /> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 16/11/2015 14:06:31 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
