Haxby Rail Station Update IV

Purpose of report: The report will update Members on the progress made in negotiations with Network Rail and Tran Pennine Express for introducing a new rail station at Haxby. This will have an impact on residents in Haxby and other potential rail commuters from the surrounding area.

The outcome of the negotiations will determine the timescale for Network Rail's scheme 'sign-off' and the subsequent status in DfT's funding programme of the Council's Exceptional Scheme bid for the scheme.

It is expected that the scheme will be completed by 2011, (subject to its continued support following the refresh of the Regional Funding Allocation programme).

Members are asked to: Decide whether the Council should continue to pursue the introduction of a rail station at Haxby and continue with the York North East Rail Scheme in its current form.

Decision type: Non-key

Decision status: Awaiting Implementation

Wards affected: Haxby and Wigginton Ward; Strensall Ward;
