Asked by: Jonathan Hinder (Labour - Pendle and Clitheroe)
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to improve passenger rail performance.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
Improving railway performance and delivering reform is my top priority. The Rail Minister and I continue to hold Train Operating Companies and Network Rail to account through the levers available to us, and will not hesitate to take action where there is a breach. I have also recently announced that performance information will be displayed at stations, demonstrating transparency and allowing passengers to hold us to account as we deliver change.
