Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, to list each of the franchise commitments to improve passenger services on Northern rail; and by what date those commitments are scheduled to be delivered.
The full list of commitments can be found in the Franchise Agreement, which is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/northern-rail-2016-rail-franchise-agreement.
Individual line improvements can be seen at http://maps.dft.gov.uk/northern/index.html.
Some of the commitments or delivery dates may be subject to alteration but these are only varied once full authority has been given by the Rail North Partnership team responsible for management of the franchise as allowed for under the Franchise Agreement.
