Gatwick Airport Station

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 11 December 2018 (HL11834), in view of the proportion of airport passengers using Gatwick Airport railway station, what assessment they have made of requesting Gatwick Airport Limited to make a greater contribution to the costs of improving the station.

Answer

The Department for Transport has been seeking to agree Gatwick Airport Limited’s contribution to the costs of enhancement works at Gatwick Airport Station through a process of negotiation.

The objective of these negotiations has been to secure an appropriate level of contribution from the airport, which also recognises that the enhancement works are designed to improve passenger journeys for airport and non-airport users.

Negotiations with Gatwick Airport Limited are still ongoing.
