The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the adequacy of the frequency of rail services for commuters between Wokingham and London.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Department officials are in regular conversation with South-Western Railway regarding its service provision in response to demand. When reviewing train services, the Department needs to assess business cases and balance demand with value for the taxpayer in its considerations. The Department believe this balance to be appropriate.
