Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if the Government will launch a campaign this summer to encourage the general public to return to travelling by bus and train.

The Department is working closely with operators and local transport authorities to support measures to increase passenger safety, and confidence and encourage a return to the bus and rail networks.

A campaign is being launched this Spring and will continue running up to the summer to encourage the general public to return to travelling by train. The national advertising and marketing campaign ‘Let’s get back on track’ will be supported by promotions by the train operators.
