Greater Anglia: Timetables

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 23 January 2026UIN 105748

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the adequacy of the the Greater Anglia timetable changes from 14 December 2025 for meeting peak-time passenger demand at Billericay station over the period of the local plan.

Answered by Keir Mather

Greater Anglia added extra carriages to a small number of Saturday services operating from Billericay as part of the December 2025 timetable change.

Greater Anglia monitors passenger demand and will make adjustments to train services and capacity where required, and where it is possible to do. I expect Greater Anglia to continue to work with local stakeholders to develop timetables for the future.
