The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has had discussions with South Western Railway regarding ensuring children do not miss school due to rail delays in Runnymede and Weybridge constituency.

Answered by Keir Mather

SWR recently informed the Department they have applied some mitigations around connections at Weybridge to hopefully avoid children missing school, due to rail delays.

SWR also works closely with local schools and other stakeholders to help manage peak school-time travel and mitigate the impact of delays where possible.
