Govia Thameslink Railway: Industrial Disputes
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with coach and bus companies on provision of alternative routes for commuters living in Worthing during industrial action on the Southern rail line.
- Answer
-
The coach market in the UK is deregulated, as is the bus market in GB outside London. It is for individual bus and coach companies to decide how to respond to the action by Southern Rail.
However, my officials are closely liaising with the Confederation of Passenger Transport, the bus and coach trade body, to determine how bus and coach operators can best assist with providing alternative transport.
