Railways: Passengers

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to improve passenger rail performance.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Improving railway performance and delivering reform is my top priority. The Rail Minister and I continue to hold Train Operating Companies and Network Rail to account through the levers available to us, and will not hesitate to take action where there is a breach. I have also recently announced that performance information will be displayed at stations, demonstrating transparency and allowing passengers to hold us to account as we deliver change.
