Lord Carlile of Berriewasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will require Railtrack to complete within a very short time the repairs to the railway line and bridge at Buttington near Welshpool, so as to restore two-way traffic on the affected trunk road. [HL2453]
§ Lord Falconer of ThorotonI understand that the level crossing and track are not in need of repair but the road bridge across the River Severn requires strengthening to accommodate heavier vehicles. This is a matter for the Highway Authority, not Railtrack.
