Railways: Stratford-on-Avon
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she is taking steps with Chiltern Railways to reinstate direct rail travel between London and Stratford-upon-Avon.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Chiltern’s current timetable offers a service between London and Stratford Upon Avon with one change.
Whilst noting that this is not a direct service, timetable decisions are for operators to make, balancing passenger demand, track availability, infrastructure constraints, and operational considerations. With these considerations in place, the operator has no current plans to offer a direct service from London Marylebone.
