	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reasons the Govia Thameslink Railway franchise agreement and remedial plan set out cancellation benchmarks whereas the Office of Road and Rail criteria for Govia Thameslink Railway set out combined cancellations and services late benchmarks.
	tabling member constituency	Luton North
	tabling member printed	Kelvin Hopkins
	uin	53604
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2016 answer text <p>The combined Cancellations and Serious Lateness (CaSL) measure reported by the Office of Rail and Road covers disruption caused across the whole industry, including incidents caused by Network Rail and other train or freight operators. There are separate benchmarks under the franchise agreement and the remedial plan covers cancellations and delays to passengers caused by Govia Thameslink Railway which incentivise the operator to reduce both. This obviates the possibility of an operator playing one measure off against another.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 22/11/2016 11:36:01 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
