To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the legislation required to implement the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail will repeal the (1) Railways Act 1993, (2) Railways Act 2005, and (3) Railways (Access, Management and Licensing of Railway Undertakings) Regulations 2016.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the legislation required to implement the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail will repeal the (1) Railways Act 1993, (2) Railways Act 2005, and (3) Railways (Access, Management and Licensing of Railway Undertakings) Regulations 2016.
There is much we can do to progress implementation of the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail without needing or amending legislation, such as the introduction of flexible season tickets and the development of a Whole Industry Strategic Plan.
To be successful, we know that Rail Transformation Programme will need to be co-designed and co-delivered with the bodies that make up the rail sector. We will engage with the industry to design and implement this major project.
We will undertake detailed engagement and consultations on implementing the proposals in the Williams-Shapps plan and where legislative changes are required, we will introduce these when the Parliamentary timetable allows.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the public sector is prohibited from operating rail passenger services except as an operator of last resort; and whether the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail will propose bringing forward legislative proposals to amend the Railways Act 1993.

As we move to implementing the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail we will take the opportunity to review existing legislation, including the rules on who is able to provide passenger services to ensure it is still up to date and appropriate.

The West Coast Main Line (WCML) Franchise was let by the Office of Passenger Rail Franchising (OPRAF), a non-Departmental government body following a competition to Virgin Rail Group[1] (VRG). VRG, through a competitive process, procured both rolling stock and the separation of the fleet maintenance and engineering functions. West Coast Train Care, an Alstom company, took over responsibility for the Depots and Maintenance of all trains and the existing staff in the Depot. This was all included in VRG’s franchise bid for the WCML in 1997 thus the costs of this separation rested with the operator, while the taxpayer benefitted as a whole from the returns of the new 15 year franchise awarded.
At the time of the WCML franchise award in 1997, the Office of Passenger Rail Franchising (OPRAF) procurement rules and procedures were followed. OPRAF, will have scrutinised bidder responses under the parameters set out in the ITT, including the separation of the fleet maintenance and engineering functions.
The Franchisee (Virgin Rail Group) was responsible for compliance with the Railways Act 1993 in transferring employees from the operator to the maintainer.

The partnership are contracted to provide advice to the Department on all rail franchises in relation to the Secretary of State’s duties under Section 30 of the Railways Act 1993.
The partnership is also currently advising the Department on a mobilisation plan for the Cross Country franchise. This plan is being prepared on a contingency basis which will be implemented in the event that negotiations on a Direct Award to the current operator fail to reach a successful commercial conclusion.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the potential effect of the latest version of the Fourth Railway Package would be on the ability of his Department to directly award passenger service contracts to public sector operators, as defined by section 25(1) of the Railways Act 1993.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the potential effect of the latest version of the Fourth Railway Package would be on the ability of his Department to directly award passenger service contracts to public sector operators, as defined by section 25(1) of the Railways Act 1993.
The Fourth Railway Package has no impact on this provision of domestic primary legislation, which prohibits the award of passenger rail franchises to public sector operators. The EU legislation would not itself prohibit awards to public service operators if in future the domestic prohibition were removed. Similarly, section 30 of the Railways Act 1993, which puts the franchising authority under a duty to secure the continuity of services – including by directly operating the services – will continue to apply.
The current text of the Fourth Railway Package permits direct awards, including to public sector operators, in a range of circumstances including where they can be justified by the characteristics of the network and potential benefits to passengers.
