The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to increase capacity on Chiltern Railways.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

We continue to work closely with Chiltern Railways to support delivery of its train fleet renewal programme to improve passenger experience and drive sustainable growth across the region.

Chiltern is exploring options to procure additional trains, while following robust assurance steps to ensure it has a strong business case that delivers value for money for the taxpayer.
