I am aware of some of the performance issues that ““one”” has suffered in recent months. The hon. Gentleman will be glad to know that with car parking at Manningtree being oversubscribed, ““one”” is currently working on proposals to deck over the car park and make it a double-deck one. As far as rail fares are concerned, increases in regulated fares are restricted to inflation plus 1 per cent., while with non-regulated fares, it is up to the train operating companies to decide by how much they need to go up. If the hon. Gentleman is suggesting that more fares should be regulated, he will also have to suggest where that money is going to come from. If it is not to come from the rail payer, the only other source is the taxpayer.

Passengers using Manningtree have suffered unreliable and overcrowded trains for the last three years. Insult was added to injury with the recent hefty increases in both fares and car parking charges. Does the Minister believe that adding £100 a month to the cost of commuting from Suffolk to London on a sub-standard service is a good way to encourage people to use the train?

The industry-standard public performance measure, or PPM, is a measure of performance of train operating companies rather than individual services. The current PPM of the train operating company ““one”” expressed as a moving annual average is 87.1 per cent., which represents an improvement of 0.6 per cent. in the last year.

There is no specific obligation within the ‘One’ Franchise Agreement to allow penalties to be imposed. However, an enforcement notice may be served requiring a remedial plan, notifying the steps that will be taken to secure or facilitate compliance, to be provided.

‘One’ has failed to meet a service benchmark on 17 occasions since June 2005. This relates to the number of cancelled services. As required by the Franchising Agreement, ‘One’ put together a corrective plan of actions that has been the subject of a number of discussions with my officials to monitor progress.

May I draw to my right hon. Friend’s attention the continuing problems with One railway in my north London constituency. In February, the Under-Secretary of State for Transport, my hon. Friend the Member for Halton (Derek Twigg), wrote to me about the difficulties that had occurred as a result of industrial action on the railways. Since then, very little has improved. Four days ago, my constituent, Ray Knight, received a letter from the Advertising Standards Authority, in which it said that it was instructing One"““to change their advertising to remove the claim regarding a 30 minute frequency where it does not apply””."
Can my right hon. Friend reassure my constituents that the Government will undertake a robust review of the franchise agreement to ensure the reliability of rail services in my constituency?

In the first instance, it is for Network Rail, working closely with One management, to try to secure the performance improvements that we all want. There has been a decline in performance in the past year, albeit from a higher base than elsewhere in the country. I understand that 87 per cent. of One services run on time, against a national average of 86.8 per cent. One management has recently been restructured, and performance has shown signs of improvement, but I will ensure that the point made by my hon. Friend’s constituent is passed on directly to Network Rail and, indeed, One management.
