	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment have they made of (1) the reliability of rail services under reduced service levels during the COVID-19 pandemic, and (2) the value of a future railway timetable which is set at less than theoretical maximum capacity levels.
	tabling member printed	Lord Greaves
	uin	HL8925
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2020 answer text <p>The Government and the rail industry revised the train timetable to ensure passengers received a regular and reliable service throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We took early action to stabilise the industry, which enabled the continued operation of critical passenger and freight services. Throughout the pandemic, performance levels have increased substantially, with the number of recorded station stops arrived at on time being over 15% higher than in the same period in 2019. We continue to work closely with industry to make sure we strike the right balance between running the maximum levels of service that can be resourced reliably and protecting taxpayers’ best interests.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 22/10/2020 16:28:22 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
