Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the reliability of Northern Train’s services on the Airedale Line from Skipton to Leeds.

In November the Airedale line had cancellations of 1.68 per cent (below Northern’s average of 2.96 per cent). Northern Trains and the department, through the Rail North Partnership, would be keen to discuss any proposals for improving train services with the Hon Member and any interested stakeholders.
