To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 4 August 2026 to Question 14997 on Railways: Standards, what criteria her Department uses to determine whether passenger demand is sufficiently low to justify a reduction in (a) train services and (b) station calls; and what minimum...
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 4 August 2026 to Question 14997 on Railways: Standards, what criteria her Department uses to determine whether passenger demand is sufficiently low to justify a reduction in (a) train services and (b) station calls; and what minimum...
The Department expects all train operators to plan and deliver services that respond to evolving passenger demand. This may involve reduced services, or station calls where demand is expected to be lower, but equally enhanced services at times and places where demand is higher. The overarching principle is to provide capacity to best meet demand within the resources available, in a way that delivers value for money for taxpayers and supports delivery of a reliable railway. Changes are considered on a case-by-case basis considering a range of factors, including the impact on performance and crowding, the effect on access to services such as employment, education, healthcare and leisure and the impact on the overall affordability of the railway, in particular the net subsidy taxpayers pay to the railway.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she has plans to encourage more on track operating flexibility under Great British Railways so that long distance intercity services are not constrained by the Time to 3 (T3) metric which underpins high frequency commuter services.

Under public ownership, operators are focused on improving the outcomes that matter most to passengers, including punctuality and reliability. Performance measures are used to support effective performance management across the network, and we are developing Great British Railways to bring track and train together in a single guiding mind, helping to deliver a more joined-up and passenger-focused railway.

Please note, that from Monday 20th July to Friday 28th August Avanti operated a Customer Led Timetable, designed to better match the timetable with reduced summer demand. As a result, 10 Manchester services every weekday were removed, reducing the weekly total to 582.
The Customer Led Timetable has now ended, so the full timetable is in operation to Manchester.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help ensure passenger travel times from Yeovil constituency are not negatively impacted by any changes to the West of England Line timetable.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help ensure passenger travel times from Yeovil constituency are not negatively impacted by any changes to the West of England Line timetable.
The Department recognises that reliability and punctuality affect passenger benefits, journey times and wider economic outcomes, and these factors are considered when assessing any timetable changes.
Soil moisture deficit (SMD) caused significant and prolonged disruption to Southwestern Railway's West of England Line in 2025. Exceptionally dry conditions led to substantial shrinkage of clay embankments between Salisbury and Exeter, resulting in track movement and the imposition of multiple 40mph speed restrictions across long single-track sections.
Whilst other parts of the UK Rail Network also suffer from these issues, the unique nature of the West of England Line with long single-track sections and limited passing points means that the base timetable is unable to accommodate delays resulting from speed restrictions. Despite mitigation work, further record-breaking dry weather means SMD is again highly likely to affect the route this year.
During Autumn, seasonal conditions prevent trains on the predominantly single line track between Salisbury and Exeter from passing each other at their planned times. The single line track means that even small delays can make the timetable unworkable and lead to wider disruption. Removing some station stops with lower demand reduces the time spent in the single lines sections and reduces delays.
Where timetable changes are necessary, operators are expected to consider the effect on passenger travel times and seek to reduce disruption while ensuring services continue to operate safely and reliably.
The Department works with Network Rail and train operators to consider the impacts of timetable changes on passengers and local communities, including when temporary service alterations are required to maintain a safe and reliable railway.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to ensure that rail passengers in North East Hampshire constituency are represented in decisions on (a) timetable changes and (b) station improvements.
South Western Railway (SWR) is developing a network-wide timetable refresh, which includes services affecting North East Hampshire. As part of this process, the operator is required to undertake public consultation on proposed timetable changes, enabling passengers, local authorities and other stakeholders to provide views before proposals are finalised.
Passenger views on station improvements are reflected through engagement led by train operators and local partners when enhancement schemes are developed. In addition, the independent watchdog, Transport Focus, represents the interests of rail users and provides evidence and challenge to ensure passenger priorities are taken into account. These arrangements help ensure that the views of passengers in North East Hampshire are considered in decisions on both timetables and station improvements.
