It was good to meet with HS2 Minister Huw Merriman yesterday with the CEO of Silverstone Circuit Stuart Pringle to discuss the possibility of a ‘Silverstone International’ train station on the HS2 line.

HS2 has created so much misery for our area - a train station at Silverstone would be small compensation after years of hardship, and a vital public transport link for the UK’s largest annual sporting event.

The meeting was constructive and I look forward to engaging with the DfT further on how and whether we can deliver a station at Silverstone.
