Written question asked by John Penrose (Conservative) on Tuesday, 26 March 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 15 April 2024. It was answered by Huw Merriman (Conservative) on Thursday, 18 April 2024 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
East Coast Main Line: Train Operating Companies
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of the new rail capacity created by the East Coast Main Line upgrade works will be allocated to open access rail services.
- Answer
-
The Department for Transport does not specify the allocation of increased capacity. However, open access operators may apply to utilise available capacity alongside operators contracted by Government. It will then be a matter for Network Rail and the Office of Rail and Road to decide through the established systems and processes how capacity should ultimately be allocated.
