The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with Shadow Great British Railways on future management of the 20 railway stations directly managed by Network Rail.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Secretary of State has not yet held any conversations with Shadow Great British Railways on the future management of stations.

The government has set Shadow Great British Railways several initial priorities, including being passenger focused - improving services for passengers and freight-customers, unlocking barriers to delivery and moving the rail network towards greater financial sustainability.

The government will shortly be setting out plans for how Shadow Great British Railways will be delivering on these priorities.
