This extends the current franchise until April 2016. Although preliminary negotiations have taken place with regard to a Direct Award to run services from April 2016, no timetable for formal negotiations is yet in place. As announced by the Secretary of State, the new franchising programme will provide a more sustainable schedule for rail franchising and the planned competition for the West Midland franchise should see the successful operator providing services from June 2017.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 17/06/2014 14:32:11 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
