Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many train-mounted cranes are currently available in Staffordshire; and what is the estimated response time of the cranes for an incident occurring at Stoke-on-Trent station. [23088]

Railtrack does not currently have any train-mounted cranes based in Staffordshire. However, the nearest crane is based at Crewe and the estimated response time for an incident occurring at Stoke-on-Trent Station is one to two hours.
