The working group on the western rail corridor, established by my predecessor to examine the case for reopening the line, has now concluded its deliberations and the chairman of the working group delivered his report to me on 10 May 2005. The recommendations in the report regarding the phased development of the western rail corridor are being examined in the context of the multi-annual investment framework for transport, which is being prepared by my Department at present.
