Dear Department for Transport,

The technical annex to the Integrated Rail Plan outlines a forth option entitled 'Potential Wider Network' which has been estimated to cost £8 billion more than the adopted 'Core Network'!

I would like to request information as to what additional work this entails and the estimated cost of each part ?

Yours faithfully,
Michael Bradley

Dear Rail Infrastructure Group,

Many thanks for your response and the supplied information which I personally find rather exciting!

I was wondering is it possible for you to abbreviate upon what the £2.5 billion between Liverpool and Manchester would be for ? The technical annex to the IRP lacks detail in this regard other than a graphic that shows another line to the West of Warrington to Liverpool.

I am keen to know if this involves a new station for Liverpool ?

Yours faithfully,
MBradley
