answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2019 answer text <p>The HS2 Development Agreement sets out the Sponsor’s Requirements for the HS2 scheme. At Old Oak Common, this includes interchange facilities with the Great Western Main Line and Crossrail services.</p><p>Our current indicative train service specification that has informed the design of Old Oak Common station assumes that all Great Western franchise and Heathrow Express services will stop at Old Oak Common.

The frequency of connections is an operational matter that will be determined nearer the time, but we would expect passengers and other stakeholders to be consulted on material changes to future franchise service patterns.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 06/03/2019 15:46:07 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
