Adam Holloway – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Adam Holloway on 2015-12-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential effect on congestion at the Dartford Tunnel of increasing the number of Channel Tunnel freight trains that off-load north of the River Thames.

The Department is not planning to make such an assessment. Channel Tunnel rail freight trains with loads for destinations beyond London would be expected to continue on the rail network rather than off-loading in the London area.
