Under the terms of the Railway Act 2005, the Statement of Funds Available for Control Periods 7 and 8 would most likely be published in 2022 and 2027 respectively, although the length of Control Periods is for the independent Office of Rail and Road to determine. The ongoing Williams Rail Review is also considering broader structural issues around the rail industry.<\/p>

The Secretary of State for Transport and the Chancellor of the Exchequer meet from time to time to discuss a range of relevant issues. The budget for Control Period 6 starting in April 2019 was set in 2017. In respect of future Network Rail budgets, the Department for Transport is routinely in discussions with Office for Rail and Road and industry partners including the supply chain on how best to build the evidence base needed to take future funding decisions. The ongoing Williams Rail Review is also considering broader structural issues around the rail industry.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3996", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Jones"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Harrogate and Knaresborough"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Jones"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-25T15:46:37.353Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-06-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Network Rail: Finance"} , "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, whether he has had recent discussions with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the merits of confirming Network Rail budgets (a) earlier and (b) over a longer period of time; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4125", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Catherine McKinnell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Catherine McKinnell"} ], "uin" : "267253"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1133574", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1133574/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Secretary of State recognises the importance of the East Coast Main Line for communities and businesses and holds regular discussions with the Scottish Government. The Department is investing £780m in Control Period 6 to upgrade the East Coast Main Line. In conjunction with the introduction of new trains for London North Eastern Railway (LNER), additional LNER services to Edinburgh from Autumn 2019, and Transpennine Express plans to extend its Liverpool to Newcastle service to Edinburgh from December 2019, together this will improve journey times, reliability and capacity between England and Scotland. Network Rail\u2019s Strategic Business Plan for 2019 to 2024 for the London North Eastern and East Midlands Route explains how this investment from the Statement of Funds Available will be used to improve the resilience of the East Coast Main Line.<\/p>

The East Coast Main Line has always reduced to two tracks at Northallerton where a line branches off towards Eaglescliffe. The East Coast Main Line Enhancement Programme will maximise the capacity available from the two tracks that continue to run north of Northallerton. Building on that starting point, the Northern Powerhouse Rail Strategic Outline Business Case presents proposals to increase track capacity to Newcastle. The Department is working with Transport for the North to refine these proposals and identify a single preferred concept.<\/p>
