HC Deb 15 June 1998 vol 314 c61W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what discussions his Department has had with Railtrack and train-operating companies concerning the electrification, upgrading and extension of services on the Barking to Gospel Oak line; and if he will make a statement.

Ms Glenda Jackson

I understand that Railtrack are currently assessing the options for upgrading the Gospel Oak-Barking line. The final decision will ultimately be a commercial one for Railtrack.
