We are now taking charge
We are now taking charge of setting the strategy for rail to further raise
the standard of service and reliability.We will examine options for
increasing capacity, including a new generation of high-speed trains
on intercity routes and a new life for rural branch lines as community
railways.We are committed to continuing to work to develop a funding
and finance solution for the Crossrail project; and will look at the feasibility
and affordability of a new North-South high-speed link.
