HC Deb 21 February 2000 vol 344 c708W
Mr. Ashdown

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to re-open Chard Junction railway station; and if he will make a statement. [110802]

Mr. Hill

There are currently no plans to re-open Chard Junction railway station. Interested local stakeholders may, however, wish to consider making a bid for funds to re-open this station from the Rail Passenger Partnership scheme (details in the House Library) administered by the Franchising Director.
