The question
To ask the Scottish Government which capital projects proposed in the Initial Industry Plan Scotland: Proposals for Control Period 5 and beyond it will support.
The answer
The High Level Output Specification published on 21 June 2012 sets out the Government’s ambitious investment priorities for the five year (2014 to 2019) Control Period. The £5 billion programme of investment in infrastructure includes:
Phase 1 of the Edinburgh to Glasgow Improvements Programme
Completion of the Borders Railway
Phase 1 of the Aberdeen to Inverness Rail Improvements Project, and
Phase 2 of the Highland Main Line Improvements Project
All of these projects are detailed in our Infrastructure Investment Plan, and the Industry’s Investment Plan.
We will require the rail industry to work together to deliver future phases of the Aberdeen to Inverness Improvements Project and the Highland Main Line Improvements Project, and the rolling programme of electrification, which will cover around 100 single track kilometres per annum to meet future capacity requirements.
