Question to the Department for Transport:
What steps he is taking to increase rail capacity in Gloucester.
This question was answered on 24th October 2019
In the new timetable starting on 15 December Great Western Railway increases the frequency of through train services between London Paddington and Gloucester from every two hours to hourly. There will also be earlier first and last trains.
The new through trains will be operated by new Intercity Express Trains, providing far more capacity than the shorter local diesel trains they replace.
