answer text <p>All passengers are entitled to and encouraged to apply for Delay Repay compensation from their train operator. Both train operators, Northern and TransPennine Express will also be opening an additional compensation scheme to ensure that people who travelled regularly on the disrupted routes, but without a season ticket, will be eligible for compensation. This was announced at the end of July by Transport for the North, which is leading on the design of the scheme. Further details will be announced shortly by Transport for the North and the train operators.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Outside of London, the bus market in England is deregulated. Bus operators have no statutory obligations to make public transport available in particular areas. Where there is not enough demand for a bus route to be commercially viable in its own right, all local authorities have powers to subsidise bus services where they are considered socially necessary. However, the Government understands how important public transport is for those living in rural areas. Ministers from the Department regularly hold discussions with a wide range of bus operators, including Arriva where rural bus service provision is a key focal point of discussion.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We welcome Nexus’ plans for further development of the Metro system to deliver better services to passengers, and stand ready to discuss the business case and funding for specific proposals. Any request for central Government enhancements funding would be considered against the priorities and principles set out in the Government’s March 2018 Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline publication.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is supporting the Tyne and Wear Metro system with £317 million for its reinvigoration and renewal programme and £229 million towards its running costs since 2010. Furthermore, in the 2017 Autumn Budget, the Chancellor announced a £337m direct grant to deliver a new fleet of trains for the Tyne and Wear Metro. Through the New Stations Fund the Department is also supporting the construction of a new station at Horden Peterlee in the Hon. Member’s constituency.</p> more like this
