The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the potential impact of changes on level crossing down times will be a factor in the upcoming SWR timetable review and consultation.

Answered by Keir Mather

The potential impact of changes to level crossing down times will be a factor in the upcoming South Western Railway timetable review. This is an issue that is carefully considered as part of wider timetable development. The Department and the operator welcome engagement from interested parties on this and other impacts, including through pre-consultation events and a planned public consultation in the autumn.
