question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the core reasons for the latest National Rail Passenger Survey by Transport Focus, published in January, showing the lowest levels of passenger satisfaction in 10 years.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL15162
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2019 answer text <p>The latest National Rail Passenger Survey (NRPS) results (Autumn 2018) found that 8 in 10 journeys were rated as satisfactory overall at the national level, with fewer than one in 10 rated as unsatisfactory. Satisfaction as measured by the NRPS has generally remained stable over the last 10 years.</p><p> </p><p>The fieldwork for the Autumn 2018 NRPS was the first since the introduction of the new timetable in May 2018 and the subsequent period of network disruption, which is likely to have had an impact on the results for some Train Operating Companies (TOCs).</p><p> </p><p>In addition, a number of TOCs were affected by industrial action throughout 2018, including South Western Railway and Northern. Parts of the country (particularly Scotland) were affected by Storm Ali during September and October which closed a large number of stations in Scotland.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 25/04/2019 13:51:52 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

hansard heading	Midland Main Line: Electrification
house id	2
legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, following their decision to extend the electrification of the Midland Main Line from Kettering to Market Harborough, whether they now intend to reconsider their decision to abandon the electrification of that line all the way to Sheffield.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL15164
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2019 answer text <p>There are currently no plans to further extend electrification on the Midland Main Line (MML), beyond those works planned by the MML enhancements programme and HS2 Phase 2b. The Department for Transport has taken the decision to deliver new bi-mode trains for MML intercity services. Together with significant infrastructure investment along the route, for example the track and signalling upgrade at Derby station which was completed last year, this will mean that passengers will benefit from faster journeys, and from more seats and better quality trains with as little disruption to passengers as possible.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 25/04/2019 13:52:41 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 2 April (HL14685), of the £48 billion committed to investment in the rail network during Control Period 6, how much is for new (1) infrastructure, and (2) rolling stock; and what is the planned investment in HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail during the same period.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL15085
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2019 answer text <p>The £48bn Control Period 6 funding settlement for the railway that Government announced in 2017 makes provision for the operation, maintenance and renewal of rail infrastructure between 2019 and 2024. It includes a £10.4bn provision for infrastructure enhancement projects. This is on top of new rolling stock, which is procured via separate arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>High Speed 2 (HS2) has a long-term funding envelope of £55.7bn (2015 prices). It is this government’s largest capital programme and the benefits are largely for the North.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has committed £52m to continue to develop Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) this year. Decisions on future investment will be considered in the Spending Review. We are working with Transport for the North on their plans for NPR. The full benefits of NPR can only be achieved by integrating it with HS2 and given the status of the projects NPR needs HS2 to be built first.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 24/04/2019 14:21:45 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
