Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department plans to take to help support the transition to Great British Railways.

While primary legislation is required to establish Great British Railways, the government has begun delivering improvements for passengers and freight users straight away.

That is why the main organisations responsible for the operational railway (Network Rail, the Rail Services group in the Department for Transport, and the DfT Operator) have begun working together in closer collaboration to establish a Shadow Great British Railways bringing together track and train ahead of legislation.
