Govia Thameslink Railway: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps are being taken to ensure adequate staffing levels on GTR services during peak commuting hours.
Answered by Keir Mather
Officials regularly engage with Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) to monitor staffing levels, including resources needed for peak commuting hours. All operators submit traincrew resourcing plans covering issues such as recruitment and training plans.
The Department has supported GTR’s ongoing Thameslink driver recruitment programme, which will increase driver numbers by nearly 100.
