Railways
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many (a) stations, (b) tracks, (c) passengers and (d) fareboxes will not be run by Great British Rail.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
GBR will be responsible for all stations, infrastructure and services that are currently run by Network Rail or operators contracted by government. It will be empowered to deliver industry-wide modernisation and reform of the complex and fragmented fares landscape inherited from privatisation. This will enable GBR to simplify the ticketing system and make it easy for passengers to find the right fare.
