tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL2726
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>The sole deep Alliance between a passenger train operator and Network Rail (NR) is the Wessex Alliance between South West Trains and NR. It seeks to deliver benefits such as more effective station management, better planning of track maintenance, aligned objectives and operational efficiencies</p><p> </p><p>The Alliance sees South West Trains and Network Rail share risks and opportunities within agreed parameters. To date, the Alliance has focused on improving the underlying condition of the infrastructure in order to secure operational efficiencies in the future. That approach has not yet generated savings for the Alliance, or therefore Government. Network Rail and South West Trains have, however, gained sufficient confidence in the potential of the Alliance to continue the arrangements into 2017 and we expect to see a financial return arising from these arrangements.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 17/11/2014 12:01:32 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
