Railways: West Midlands

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to reduce the number of delays to train services in the West Midlands.

Answer

The Department meets regularly with West Midlands Trains to discuss, amongst other issues, train performance. In addition, we have recently required the franchise to deliver a plan to improve train performance. We anticipate receiving this plan by the end of November and this will detail how performance will improve and return to the levels required under the Franchise Agreement.
