- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 12 January 2026 to Question 101846, how many station staff were employed by TransPennine Express on (a) 4 July 2024 and (b) the most recent date for which figures are available; and what the percentage change in station staffing levels has been over that period.
- Answer
-
For 2024-25 rail period 4 (23 June-20 July 2024) TransPennine Express reported 153.5 full-time-equivalent (FTE) staff at stations, including barrier staff. That figure for 2025-26 rail period 10 (7 December 2025-3 January 2026) was 178 FTE, representing a 16 per cent increase. The increase over 2024-25 were mainly due to filling vacancies that had been paused pending the previous Government’s proposed closure of ticket offices which they subsequently reversed.
