The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential impact of levels of service provision on the Chertsey branch line at (a) Egham, (b) Chertsey, (c) Addlestone and (c) Weybridge stations on (i) school and (ii) college attendance in the 2023-2024 academic year.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department is unaware of any negative impact that service provision had on the Chertsey branch line on school or college attendance in the 2023-2024 academic year. South Western Railway (SWR) is in regular direct contact with schools and colleges when service provisions are amended.
