Railways: Repairs and Maintenance Asked by: Alex Sobel (Labour (Co-op) - Leeds Central and Headingley) Tuesday 9th December 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to ensure that rail operators provide sufficient staffing and passenger management during major route disruptions.

Railway Stations: Disability Asked by: Alex Sobel (Labour (Co-op) - Leeds Central and Headingley) Tuesday 9th December 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what measures are in place to ensure that assistance services in rail stations for disabled and vulnerable passengers remain functional during significant service disruptions. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) All train and station operators are required, under their Accessible Travel Policy, to provide assistance to disabled and vulnerable passengers during periods of disruption. This includes, where appropriate, the provision of alternative accessible transport. Operators must set out in their Accessible Travel Policy how they will communicate with passengers and deliver assistance during disruption, including for those who have booked help in advance.

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) Standard practice is for journey planner websites like National Rail Enquiries and train operating company websites to start showing alternative travel information 12 weeks in advance. Network Rail is responsible for coordinating and validating timetables for the national rail network and works with all the train operating companies to ensure passengers are adequately informed of planned engineering works.
