uin	280131
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/08/2019 answer text <p>Government takes train punctuality seriously and understands it is crucial to passengers and freight users. That is why Government agreed a Network Rail settlement for England and Wales of £47.9bn for Control Period 6 specifically aimed at maintaining and renewing the railway to improve reliability and punctuality for all rail users. We recognise performance on the railway has been unsatisfactory, and passengers have not always received the level of service they expected. While performance has improved recently, the new Transport Secretary understands passengers need the certainty of reliable journeys, and is determined to work with industry to improve performance. We continue to monitor the performance of our franchised operators closely to press for improvements for passengers.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 13/08/2019 11:30:04 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris previous answer version 131255 answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
