<p>The Franchise Agreement with TransPennine Express does not outline a timetable
for a response to TransPennine Express's consultation and report process on Boxing
Day services. However, the Department and Rail North Partnerships are currently considering
the contents of the report to determine whether Boxing Day services may be introduced
from Dec-18, and if so, how it would be funded. A decision for this implementation
date would be required by May/June 2018, and subject to identification of funding.</p>
