The MP is following up on previous investments made at Kettering railway station, specifically asking about the number of permanent jobs created by these improvements and the expected completion date for the historic canopy renovation.
I thank the rail Minister for visiting Kettering station in May to see all the improvements that have been made. How many permanent jobs have been created by that investment, and when does he expect the historic canopy renovation works to be completed?
I thank my hon. Friend and neighbour for that question and for allowing me to visit this wonderful station in his constituency. Network Rail's canopy works—the canopy is truly beautiful, Mr Speaker—are planned for completion by the end of November this year. Network Rail's works at Kettering, including the mainline route enhancements, have created 16 jobs, while East Midlands Railway has created 70 jobs there.
