The Department does not collect data relating to the quality of utility reinstatements.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Parliamentary Under Secretary of State has met with representatives of both utility companies and local highway authorities to discuss street works, including the quality of reinstatements. In the last year the Department received 8 letters from MPs and 8 other items of correspondence about reinstatements.<\/p>

<\/p>

It is for local authorities to determine the resources assigned to enforce requirements relating to street works. Councils have powers through the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 to inspect reinstatements and to require utilities to carry out remedial works to comply with their reinstatement duties. Further powers are available through the Traffic Management Act 2004 where local authorities can introduce permit schemes for street works, and enforce conditions about how works are carried out. A prescribed proportion of street work inspections is funded by utility companies, and authorities also have powers to bring prosecutions where the quality of reinstatement does not meet standards.<\/p>

Network Rail has been asked to start to consider options for increasing line speeds on certain sections of the East Coast Main Line from the current maximum of 125mph to 140mph. This increased line speed could be utilised by the new Intercity Express trains, which are designed to operate at this higher speed, and depending upon the length of the sections involved could result in reductions to advertised journey times to key destinations.<\/p>

Network Rail has been asked to start to consider options for increasing line speeds on certain sections of the East Coast Main Line from the current maximum of 125mph to 140mph. This work will identify the impact of these potential changes, if any, upon all users of the line.<\/p>

Prior to the implementation of any such changes Network Rail will apply the standard rail industry \u2018Network Change\u2019 consultation process. This provides all relevant parties the opportunity to fully understand the details of the proposed changes, assess the impact of these changes upon their access rights and make appropriate representations.<\/p>
