South Western Railway: Standards
Asked by: Lord Berkeley (Labour - Life peer) Monday 15th September 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the reasons for the delays and reduced passenger services on the rail line from Exeter to Salisbury, and what action Network Rail is taking to remedy the situation and reinstate the original timetable. Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport) Delays and reduced passenger services have been caused by ‘soil moisture deficit’, shrinking the clay embankments the rail line from Salisbury to Exeter is built on. This requires speed restrictions, leading to extended journey times and the need for an amended timetable to accommodate. South Western Railway and Network Rail continue to monitor soil moisture levels, track conditions and train performance, and provide regular updates to the Department. We are assured by South Western Railway and Network Rail that usual services will be reinstated as soon as it is safe to do so. |

Parking: Pedestrian Areas
Asked by: Lord Berkeley (Labour - Life peer) Monday 22nd September 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government what is the scope and timescale for their recently announced research on pavement parking. Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport) The Department has been considering all the views expressed in response to the 2020 pavement parking consultation and is currently working through the policy options and the appropriate means of delivering them. In accordance with Government procurement requirements, my officials are in discussion with suppliers to determine the terms of reference for the current work and expect to issue the formal specification shortly. Timelines will be finalised during the procurement process. Findings will be published as early as possible and no later than 12 weeks after the final outputs from the data collection stage are agreed in accordance with the Government Social Research Publication Protocol. The research will seek to measure the extent of pavement parking and its impacts and provide a baseline so that whichever policy we implement can be evaluated. It will not delay any policy announcement nor the publication of my Department’s formal response to the previous Government’s 2020 consultation. |
