Railways: Greater London

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will list the planned frequency and route destinations for the additional Great Northern off-peak services from Moorgate scheduled from December 2026; and what milestones must be met to ensure these services are introduced on schedule.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Department requires its operators to plan services and rail timetables that are designed to meet expected passenger demand and provide value for money for the taxpayer.

From December, GTR will be increasing the frequency of the weekday off-peak and Saturday service between Moorgate and Hertford North from two to four trains an hour.

Network Rail will work with GTR to ensure delivery is in line with industry processes.
