Railways: Herefordshire

Asked by Dr Ellie ChownsGreen PartyDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 28 February 2025UIN 32719

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the adequacy of the frequency and reliability of rail services to stations in Herefordshire.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department works with all its Train Operating Companies on the frequency and reliability of services, including those in Herefordshire, where it also liaises with Transport for Wales on its services through the county. We are aware that West Midlands Trains (WMT) services to Birmingham have suffered reliability issues and shorter trains in recent months, and WMT is implementing a focused set of initiatives to mitigate this.
