Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what financial support his Department will provide to users of the easitNETWORK discount travel scheme when Great Western Railway withdraws from that scheme.

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.
