Progress on the 1998 NMS<br />

STATIONS <strong>The</strong> SRP work at Salisbury Station has been completed.<br />

SOUTH HAMPSHIRE RAPID TRANSIT We fully support Phase 1 of this scheme,<br />

for which a public inquiry is in progress. <strong>The</strong> conclusion is expected in early 2000.<br />

Future phases include proposals to employ our infrastructure between Fareham<br />

and Southampton. For it to be progressed, it requires the agreement of all<br />

stakeholders as to its fit within the local transport and land-use<br />

plans. We support Hampshire County Council’s study into the feasibility of a new<br />

chord line to enable trains to run between Botley and Southampton without<br />

reversing at Eastleigh.<br />

SIGNALLING We have undertaken a condition assessment of the signalling<br />

systems on the Salisbury–Honiton route and have concluded that no significant<br />

work will be necessary before 2006.<br />
