	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2019 answer text <p>Under the terms of the Franchise Agreement there is a performance regime which deals with poor performance in the areas of cancellations, delays and reduced capacity. Under the Delay Repay scheme, Northern passengers are entitled to compensation if a delay to their train journey means they are delayed in reaching their destination by 15mins or more. Delay Repay for those journeys delayed 15mins or more was announced by the Secretary of State later last year and introduced by Northern on 16 December 2018. As part of this, the Secretary of State has tasked Richard George, an independent industry expert, to assist with railway industry performance improvement in the region covered by TfN. The Secretary of State has no hesitation in enforcing that any of his rights under the Franchise Agreement for operators not fulfilling their contractual obligations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 18/03/2019 16:34:16 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

	uin	230686
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2019 answer text <p>The original safety assessment of All Lane Running (ALR) included the safety of a vehicle stopping in a running lane during peak and off-peak periods. It also identified a range of measures, such as the provision of traffic management technology and emergency areas, designed to ensure that overall ALR safety levels would be at least as safe as those of a traditional motorway with a hard shoulder.</p><p>The smart motorway schemes between junctions 5-7 and 23-27 of the M25 were the first to be designed to the ALR standard, and were completed in 2014. The performance of both schemes was monitored, and reports were published after one, two and three years of operation, which included an assessment of safety and performance data.</p><p>M25 three-year evaluation reports:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/m25-junction-5-to-7-third-year-evaluation-report" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/m25-junction-5-to-7-third-year-evaluation-report</a></p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/m25-junction-23-to-27-third-year-evaluation-report" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/m25-junction-23-to-27-third-year-evaluation-report</a></p><p>The reviews show that the All Lane Running sections are performing in line with expectations, successfully increasing capacity and improving journeys for motorists. These reviews also found that the M25 schemes delivered a 27% safety improvement overall.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 18/03/2019 15:48:53 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
