§ 17. Mr. JenkinTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what measures will be pursued to improve services for travellers on the London-Colchester line.
§ Mr. FreemanThe bulk of London to Colchester services are provided by the Great Eastern route group of Network SouthEast, which is already one of the best performing lines.
In addition, the route is currently undergoing a major resignalling scheme, at a cost of £100 million. When this is completed I expect to see performance improve even further.
