HL Deb 23 June 2004 vol 662 cc134-6WA
Lord Moynihan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord McIntosh of Haringey on 27 May (WA 161), which 10 railway lines will serve the proposed Olympic Park in Stratford; and what is the planned investment in these lines. [HL3192]

Lord Davies of Oldham

The 10 railway lines which will serve the proposed Olympic Park in Stratford are made up of four London underground lines, four mainline railway lines, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL).

The Underground lines are the Jubilee and Central lines through Stratford station and the District and Hammersmith and City lines through West Ham station. They and the DLR are the responsibility of the Mayor and Transport for London. Investment in the underground lines will be largely delivered through the PPP contracts.

The mainline railway lines are the Great Eastern mainline, North London line, Lea Valley line and C2C line. In addition to normal track maintenance and renewal works, investment plans for the railway network are set out in the Government's 10-year transport plan, the Strategic Rail Authority's strategic rail plan for 2003 and the Network Rail business plan.

CTRL phase two serving Stratford and London St Pancras is currently under construction. Work on the line, including the new Stratford International Station, is expected to be completed by 2007.
