The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of expediting the application by Grand Central Rail for four daily calls at Seaham train station on Grand Central's North East services.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Access to the rail network is ultimately a decision for the ORR in its role as regulator for the rail industry. We will continue to work with ORR through the consultation process.
