The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she plans to take to support open access operators.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

We are committed to delivering benefits for both passengers and taxpayers, and there will remain a role for open access services where they provide improved connectivity and choice. We will also continue to work to protect access to the network for all operators as we take forward the Railways Bill.
