Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what information he has about the lines and stations reinstated by British Rail under the Transport Act 1962 (Amendment) Act 1981 together with those which it is proposed to reinstate in the next 12 months.

Mr. David Mitchell

I understand from the British Railways Board that 32 stations and two passenger services have been opened or reopened on an experimental basis under the 1981 Act. A further 11 stations and five passenger services are expected to be opened or reopened in the next 12 months.
