The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to re-instate late night services at Worcester Park station.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

When adding or reinstating services, the Department needs to assess business cases and balance demand with value for the taxpayer in its considerations. There are currently no plans to reinstate a later train between Sunday and Thursday. However, a later Friday and Saturday service was reinstated from December 2020 departing from Waterloo at twenty-five minutes past midnight.
