The Government is committed to bringing forward vital sector-wide reforms and commissioned Keith Williams to carry out the first root and branch review of the rail industry in a generation. Over the course of his review, Keith Williams found that many stations are not optimised for passengers, and fail to meet their social or economic potential. Keith Williams has made a number of recommendations which Ministers are considering, though I do not anticipate recommendations in relation to specific stations. The Government will publish a White Paper with details on the Government's plans for rail reform once the course of the pandemic becomes clearer.
