Great Western Railway’s (GWR’s) withdrawal from easitNETWORK is a matter for the operator, and the Department has therefore made no assessment of its effect on traffic congestion or air quality and has had no discussions with employers in Oxford about this.

Any support for users of the easitNETWORK discount travel scheme when GWR withdraws from that scheme is also a matter for GWR.
