Written question asked by Ian Mearns (Labour) on Tuesday, 12 June 2018, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 14 June 2018. It was answered by Lord Johnson of Marylebone (Conservative) on Thursday, 21 June 2018 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Northern: Compensation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether Transport for the North or Rail North have agreed any claim by Arriva Rail North to reimburse it for revenues lost as a result of industrial action; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

This is a reserved matter for the Secretary of State. Transport for the North has no authority under the terms of the Partnership Agreement to agree to such a claim. Rail North Ltd has become part of Transport for the North. As stated in my answer of 21 June, UIN 152739, no payments have been made under the relevant Franchise Agreement provisions.
