Transport Select Committee: Questioning Allan Cook, Chair of HS2

  • Tweet
Wednesday, 13 March, 2019
""

In this week’s Transport Select Committee session, we questioned Allan Cook, the chair of High Speed 2 (HS2), on the progress of the project and discussed potential barriers it faces.

I asked him whether we had lost our bottle when it came to delivering large, long-term infrastructure projects in this country. I received an impassioned response about the benefits of this ambitious programme.

High Speed Rail to London

I am working with local Conservative MPs and Councillors and the rail authorities to deliver direct trains from Bexhill to London (via Ashford). A fleet of new trains will deliver a journey time of just 78 minutes.  I will work with our partners to deliver the business case and lobby to turn this into reality. The impact on our community, from increased investment, jobs and tourists, would be vast and would link us to our capital and beyond.
