uin	249926
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not monitor these figures as a matter of course. We do, however, hold recent figures for the proportion of Southern services that have run without an on-board supervisor since the role was introduced in January 2017. These figures demonstrate that the percentage of services running without an on-board supervisor is very low and is decreasing over time.</p><p> </p><p>Southern are only able to run services without an on-board supervisor in exceptional circumstances. This reduces the disruption to passengers, as if a conductor was due to work on these services, but is then unavailable, then they would have had to be cancelled.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 13/05/2019 15:07:41 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
