Where we receive claims that we consider to be ineligible for BSOG – for instance closed services - and where operators are unable to demonstrate that they are eligible, the claims are disallowed. The eligibility criteria for the scheme are printed on the forms which operators must fill in and submit to the department in order to claim the grant.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 23/10/2015 10:34:39 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2015 answer text <p>The current programme shows the start of passenger services between Rotherham Parkgate and Sheffield city centre in early 2017.</p><br /><p>The very nature of the trial means that we are pushing on the envelope of known standards and interfaces between heavy and light rail systems and some technological issues have been significant. However, a key objective of the project is to provide a template for future schemes in other cities that will then allow much quicker and cost effective implementation of a system where the lower cost of operating tram trains on heavy rail routes will deliver long term reductions in opex and capex along the lines of Sir Roy McNulty’s findings.</p><br /> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 21/10/2015 14:57:25 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
