The Rail Network Enhancement Pipeline (RNEP) was published on 16th<\/sup> October 2019 and lists all schemes currently in the pipeline and can be found here:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rail-network-enhancements-pipeline-autumn-2019-update<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

A core principle of the RNEP is that the Government only ever commits to the next stage of development.<\/p>

Timescales for the development of market-led proposals are determined by the pace at which promoters develop them as they are market-led. However, we continue to engage with the promoters of a number of proposals submitted to the department through the 2018 call for ideas.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3977", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Daventry"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Chris Heaton-Harris"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-10-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-10-21T16:02:02.24Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-10-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Railways: Capital Investment"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Government\u2019s announcement of 10 October 2019 on an infrastructure revolution, what his timescale is for the (a) enhancements pipeline for Network Rail in Control Period 6 between 2019 and 2024 and (b) market led investment proposals for the rail industry.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4269", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andy McDonald"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Middlesbrough"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andy McDonald"} ], "uin" : "223"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1110116", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1110116/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The £48bn Control Period 6 funding settlement for the railway that Government announced in 2017 makes provision for the operation, maintenance and renewal of rail infrastructure between 2019 and 2024. It includes a £10.4bn provision for infrastructure enhancement projects. This is on top of new rolling stock, which is procured via separate arrangements.<\/p>

<\/p>

High Speed 2 (HS2) has a long-term funding envelope of £55.7bn (2015 prices). It is this government\u2019s largest capital programme and the benefits are largely for the North.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has committed £52m to continue to develop Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) this year. Decisions on future investment will be considered in the Spending Review. We are working with Transport for the North on their plans for NPR. The full benefits of NPR can only be achieved by integrating it with HS2 and given the status of the projects NPR needs HS2 to be built first.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4580", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Vere of Norbiton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-04-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-04-24T14:21:45.67Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Railways: Capital Investment"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 2 April (HL14685), of the £48 billion committed to investment in the rail network during Control Period 6, how much is for new (1) infrastructure, and (2) rolling stock; and what is the planned investment in HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail during the same period.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/738", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Alton of Liverpool"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Alton of Liverpool"} ], "uin" : "HL15085"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1037981", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1037981/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

GRIP is Network Rail\u2019s project delivery methodology, developed to manage project delivery and governance. All rail infrastructure investment projects are subject to GRIP. The Rail Network Enhancement Pipeline (RNEP) approach separates rail enhancements from the periodic review process which determines the five-year funding settlements for operating, maintaining and renewing the network.<\/p>

<\/p>

There are now three key decision points for evaluating enhancements proposals using a pipeline approach: the decision to develop, the decision to design and the decision to deliver (final investment decision). Each decision point is informed by a HMT-compliant business case and assessed for strategic fit, value for money, affordability and deliverability of the proposal. It should be noted that these stages do not directly align with the Governance of Railway Investment Projects (GRIP) stages used by Network Rail, however some of the later stages will be informed by GRIP related activities.<\/p>

<\/p>

Network Rail will only commit to deliver projects once design work is complete and there are robust delivery and cost estimates to inform good decision-making.<\/p>
