answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2019 answer text <p>Driver Controlled Operation (DCO) was rolled out on Southern from January 2017. Operationally this means that drivers open and close the doors of the train – a modern and safe way of working. What this means for passengers is that they now have dedicated customer service staff (an on-board supervisor, or OBS) on every train that previously had a conductor. Should an OBS - at short notice - not be able to meet the train, then the train is no longer cancelled, as it would have been with a conductor.</p><p> </p><p>In 2016, no Southern services ran without a scheduled second member of staff on board. However, 8,119 trains were cancelled in 2016 because there was no conductor. This is because trains which are scheduled to run with a conductor cannot be run without a second qualified person on board.</p><p> </p><p>In 2017, 1.6% of Southern services scheduled to run with an OBS ran without an OBS for their whole journey, and 2.2% ran without an OBS for part of their journey.</p><p> </p><p>In 2018, 0.4% of Southern services scheduled to run with an OBS ran without an OBS for their whole journey, and 1.0% ran without an OBS for part of their journey.</p><p> </p><p>In the figures for January and February 2019, 0.1% of Southern services scheduled to run with an OBS ran without an OBS for their whole journey, and 0.5% ran without an OBS for part of their journey.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 13/03/2019 14:45:10 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2019 answer text <p>It is already illegal for a taxi or private hire driver to refuse carriage to a passenger on the grounds that they are accompanied by an assistance dog. Responsibility for ensuring that drivers understand their legal duties, and for taking action against those alleged to have acted discriminatorily, rests with local licensing authorities.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 05/03/2019 13:16:13 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
