Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the value is of Network Rail's traffic management first deployment contract covering the Wales Rail Operating Centre and the Romford Rail Operating Centre; what the commissioning dates are for the two traffic management systems under that contract; and when the full integrated traffic management functionality for each location will be available.

The installation programmes for the two Rail Operating Centres have values of circa £35,000,000 each, £70,000,000 combined. Romford has a planned commissioning date of November 2016. All contracted functionality will be delivered on that date. A commissioning date for Cardiff has not been finalised.
