question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the creation of a mainline station at Old Oak Common on journey times on the Great Western Mainline.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2024 answer text <p>The current assumption is that all passenger trains on the Great Western Mainline will stop at the new Old Oak Common station. Current estimates indicate stopping trains at this station is likely to add approximately 3 minutes onto the journey time to London Paddington, though this would be dependent on further timetable analysis. Old Oak Common will provide onward connectivity to Birmingham via HS2 and Central London via the Elizabeth Line so we anticipate many customers from the West of England will choose to disembark at Old Oak Common.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 18/01/2024 15:15:19 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
