The Williams review is a bigger piece of work, but I also said that I would take back the points about Govia and TfL and keep my right hon. Friend informed. That is what I was referring to, so I have not missed it. Let me just finish by saying that the performance on Great Northern after May was unacceptable. Action has been taken against GTR in respect of that, and we continue to monitor performance closely. Additional Moorgate services were introduced last week, providing additional capacity in Welwyn Hatfield. I hope that 2019 will see further improvements, including the very popular introduction of pay-as-you-go ticketing. I will follow up all the points raised by my right hon. Friend and keep him posted.
Mr Philip Hollobone (in the Chair)
I am pleased to say that this debate does not qualify for delay and repay, and we have arrived at our destination on time.
Question put and agreed to.
Resolved,
That this House has considered the performance of Govia on the Moorgate to Welwyn Garden City railway line.
