Northern

(asked on 5th September 2018) - View Source

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to increase the number of Northern services operating at weekends.


This question was answered on 11th September 2018

The Northern franchise will be providing around 400 additional Sunday services by the end of 2019 compared with the start of the franchise in 2016, many of which have already been introduced. As regards current weekend performance we would urge RMT to call off their planned industrial action on Saturdays, especially as there are talks taking place at ACAS. The level of Sunday cancellations continue to remain unacceptable and Northern must urgently look to resolve this issue.
