The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what information her Department holds on the number of staff affected by the ending of the reciprocal staff rail pass for Brighton and Hove Buses and Metrobus staff on 31 May 2026.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Department does not hold details on the total number of Brighton & Hove and Metrobus staff affected by the ending of such discretionary arrangements. Under the TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006) process, the Department is currently consulting Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) staff affected.
