<p>Her Majesty’s Government considers the needs of freight operators when developing
passenger rail franchise specifications. While there are no specific measures included
in current specifications relating to the carriage of small freight, parcels and letters
on passenger trains, the Department for Transport is carrying out research into how
better use can be made of spare capacity on trains. We will consider the outcome of
this research in the design of future rail franchise specifications.</p>
