answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2014 answer text <p>It is too early to set the service pattern for the GB rail network in the 2020s and beyond. However, one of the key principles that will guide future service patterns is that all towns or cities which currently have a direct service to London will retain broadly comparable or better services once HS2 is complete. The future design, calling pattern and frequency of network services once HS2 opens will be developed openly, and in partnership. </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 24/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
