HC Deb 18 June 1986 vol 99 c570W
Dr. Marek

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if British Rail will have enough capacity to run passenger services from and via London to the proposed Channel tunnel without building extra track; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Mitchell

British Rail has informed Ministers that it has sufficient capacity to meet its expectation of demand with the assistance of the facilities covered by the Channel Tunnel Bill, and minor track improvements and resignalling.
