Lord Inglewood

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Davies of Oldham on 8 February (WA 110–111), whether the extended journey times currently in force on the West Coast Main Line are acceptable. [HL1281]

Lord Davies of Oldham

The department considers that the journey times currently in force on the West Coast Main Line in order to upgrade the line, and where replacement bus services are provided temporarily during works, are acceptable given the extensive work being carried out to modernise the line.
