	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2017 answer text <p>The key issue for a new direct train service between Oxford and Bristol is the lack of spare track capacity. Enhancements to the route to enable additional train services would need to be considered alongside other rail infrastructure upgrades in England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p>On 12 October 2017 the Transport Secretary set out the final Statement of Funds Available for the railway in England and Wales for Control Period 6, which covers the years 2019 to 2024.</p><p> </p><p>The Department needs to ensure investment best addresses the needs of passengers and freight, and that funding commitments appropriately reflect the stage of development of those enhancements. This is why there will be a new process for enhancements, building on the principles set out in the ‘Memorandum of Understanding between Department for Transport and Network Rail on rail enhancements’ last year. We’ll set out more information on this new process shortly.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 08/11/2017 10:20:29 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
