§ Mr. HindTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on British Rail's proposals for terminals and new rail links in central London to connect with the Channel tunnel.
§ Mr. PortilloBritish Rail's plans for the first few years of operation through the tunnel involve a new passenger terminal at Waterloo and the use of the west London line by through trains to the north. BR's report on long-term route and terminal capacity for Channel tunnel train services, published in July 1988, identified three possible sites (White City, King's Cross and Stratford) for a second London passenger terminal and possible route corridors through Kent and London once traffic through the tunnel has grown sufficiently to exhaust the capacity of Waterloo.
