This change will bring a number of passenger benefits, including more capacity on the Liverpool–Nottingham section where there is overcrowding at times today, faster journey times, a more reliable service and enabling each half of the service to better meet their individual needs and those of routes they interact with. The transfer is subject to detailed assessment of how it will be carried out and a decision as to the best long-term operator for Liverpool – Nottingham services, which will be made in conjunction with Transport for the North. Further details will be made available in due course.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 24/06/2019 15:28:21 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
