Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of long distance high speed train services in Great Britain are delivered by open access operators; and if he will publish the proportion of operator capacity currently in use for each of those operators.
On 8 March 2022, open access operated 4 per cent of long distance high speed services nationally. The Department does not keep records of the amount of capacity provided by open access operators; details of open access services are published in the National Rail timetable and on the operators’ own websites.
