Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what additional steps they are planning to take to deal with (1) poor performance by TransPennine Express trains, and (2) any health and safety issues that arise due to overcrowding on the services that are operated.

The Department’s Rail North Partnership with Transport for the North continues to work with TransPennine Express on plans for how and when the operator will introduce originally-planned services that are reliable, punctual and predictable for passengers.
