To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when a decision is expected on the re-doubling of the track between Kemble and Swindon. (168067)

I understand Network Rail has consulted rail industry parties on possible changes to the Swindon to Kemble line. However, this is an operational matter for Network Rail, as the owner and operator of the national rail network. The hon. Member should contact Network Rail’s Chief Executive at the following address for a response to his question.
