Responding to the publication of the HS2 hybrid bill, a spokesperson for the Rail Delivery Group said:
"Through the hard times and the good, demand for rail travel has boomed, and it continues to rise. There are a million more services and half a billion more passengers on the railway this year than there were a decade ago. By 2020, a further 400 million journeys will be made annually. There is a capacity challenge not just on the West Coast Main Line, but on the railway more generally. That is why we must plan for a network which can move more people and freight across the country safely, reliably and efficiently.”
