Railways Bill
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how the Railways Bill will support improved connectivity for communities currently without such links.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Railways Bill will streamline the current fragmented system by establishing Great British Railways (GBR) as a new ‘directing mind’ for the industry, unifying track and train under one public body to deliver better services for passengers and customers, and better value for money for taxpayers.
GBR will work collaboratively with devolved leaders and local stakeholders to support local rail needs and improved integration with other modes.
