Written question asked by Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Attlee (Conservative) on Tuesday, 13 March 2012.
Railways: Overcrowding
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Attlee on 6 March (WA 412), what plans they have to provide relief from overcrowding on trains, including the accommodation of suppressed demand.
- Answer
-
Extra capacity is being procured from train operating companies to address crowding concerns. We have committed to fund major rail projects such as Thameslink in London and electrification from Liverpool through Manchester and Leeds to provide longer and faster trains. By July we will publish a High Level Output Specification setting out our plans up to 2019 and making clear the funds available to pay for this. Our forecasts include evaluation of suppressed demand.
