	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2016 answer text <p>Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) first notified the Department on 20 April 2016 in advance of the conductors strike on 26 April 2016 that they would potentially be submitting a claim for force majeure. This claim was submitted to the Department on 1 June 2016 and GTR have submitted information on a regular basis since. The circumstances that have led to GTR submitting their claims for force majeure in this instance are exceptional in their complexity and unprecedented in scale. This is reflected in the volume of information GTR is providing to the Department. Whilst the franchise agreement does not specify a set timeframe in which these claims must be processed, the Department is processing the claims consistently with the contract to ensure that passenger and taxpayer interests are protected.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 01/11/2016 14:54:10 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

All new trains with toilets are built with accessible toilets as standard, and this has been a requirement since 1999. Trains built before 1999 have until 2020 to comply and the Department is monitoring progress towards this target. Currently 75% of mainline trains are either built or refurbished to modern accessibility standards. This includes the provision of an accessible toilet, where toilets are provided.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 17/01/2017 09:25:37 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
