Railways: Crew
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what is being done to improve train driver availability and reduce train cancellations and delays that are caused by a lack of trained staff.
Answered by Keir Mather
All train operating companies have been asked to complete a seven-point traincrew resourcing proposal as part of their annual business plan. These plans cover staffing levels, recruitment, training, overtime and planning efficiency in order to improve reliability.
