HC Deb 05 November 1993 vol 231 c522W
Mr. Chris Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if local passenger services on the north London line will be maintained throughout the construction period of any rail link along the north London line corridor.

Mr. Freeman

The two St. Pancras route proposals put forward in Union Railways' recent report would allow passenger services on the north London line to be maintained, although the surface route would require the sort of track possessions normally associated with a major upgrade.
