Railways: Cost Effectiveness
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish the internal analysis with which his Department estimated that £1.5 billion could be saved within five years by delivery of the planned efficiencies set out in the the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail, published in May 2021, CP 423.
- Answer
-
We're committed to reforming the railways and we are getting on with delivering improvements for passengers, freight customers and the taxpayer. As outlined in the Plan for Rail, industry experts suggested savings of £1.5bn per annum could be achieved through rail reform after an initial five-year implementation period. Work continues to develop plans to deliver these savings.
