answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2021 answer text <p>On 15 March the Government launched England’s long-term National Bus Strategy, setting out a bold vision for bus services across the country. Backed by £3 billion of transformational funding, the strategy’s central aim is to get more people travelling by bus, by making services more frequent, more reliable, easier to understand and use, better co-ordinated and cheaper. The Williams-Shapps Rail Review was launched in May and set out a series of measures to support the government’s vision for the UK to have a world-class railway, recognising that the railways must become better at meeting passenger needs to avoid a society dependent on the car.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise the need to provide better value and a more convenient option to meet the needs of flexible commuters, which is why we are introducing new rail flexible season tickets across England. These tickets will be available to purchase on 21 June and valid from 28 June, and will offer most 2 and 3 day per week commuters savings against buying daily tickets or traditional seasons. Transport for Wales Rail currently offers the Multiflex product to support flexible commuters in Wales.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 09/06/2021 14:01:07 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2021 answer text <p>During the course of the pandemic, the Department has worked closely with train operating companies and Network Rail to ensure that staff and passengers are kept safe when travelling on the railway, and recognises the important role which rail staff play in ensuring passengers feel safe when travelling. Government has published Safer Travel guidance, which supports transport operators to understand how to provide safer environments for both staff and passengers. Train operators understand their markets and their customers’ travel patterns and have redeployed rail staff whose work has been affected by the pandemic into different roles, including into stations to support passengers.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 09/06/2021 12:45:48 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
