	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2017 answer text <p>These proposals are part of a consultation; no final decisions have been made. We are currently consulting passengers for their views on future Southeastern train services. In the consultation we provided an example to demonstrate how a reduction of London termini could operate to deliver a more reliable service. As with any other consultation, if a large majority of consultees support or oppose one option over another, that will carry significant weight in deciding how to proceed, and in developing the specification for the next operator.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 27/06/2017 14:01:00 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
