Avanti West Coast: Standards
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with Avanti West Coast services on the number of delays between London Euston and Preston.
- Answer
-
The Secretary of State met Avanti West Coast (AWC) in January to discuss plans to address industrial action. The Rail Minister also met AWC and Network Rail bosses in January to challenge poor performance and demand immediate action to deliver urgent improvements. While the performance of AWC is improving, it is still not good enough, with too many cancellations and delays. Poor Network Rail infrastructure reliability has also contributed significantly to the disruption felt by passengers.
