Railways
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the ten routes with the highest number of short-formed services were for each train operating company under DfT Operator ownership in the last 18 months; and how many and what proportion of services operated with fewer carriages than planned on each of those routes.
Answered by Keir Mather
DFT Operator expects operators to provide appropriate capacity in response to expected demand and holds operators to account for short- formed services. DFT Operator generally monitors levels of short formations at an operator level every four weeks and therefore is not able to provide data for each route operated by each train operating company.
