Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) will keep the situation regarding traincrew availability under review every week and will take decisions about restoring services on that basis.</p><p> </p><p>We also urge the union in the strongest possible terms to sit round the table with the operator to bring this unjustified action, which is harming passengers, to an end.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Dobwalls Bypass opened to traffic in December 2008 and included the construction of two purpose built bat bridges: Havett Farm Bridge and Lantoom Quarry Bridge. Sample monitoring of the effectiveness of the bridges has been undertaken. The surveys recorded 23 bat crossings over two days in June 2008, compared to a total of 39 bat crossings over two days in July 2014. The results of the surveys are not directly comparable as they were conducted in different months and at different times of day.</p> more like this

answer text <p>An initial study has been undertaken to explore how to maximise, as far as reasonably practicable, the movement of material by rail at Euston. The study highlights a number of technical options which are now being assessed in detail with respect to their impact on passengers, their environmental and socio-economic impacts, and impacts on the HS2 programme. An initial decision on how to proceed will be made following the completion of this further assessment which is expected to be in advance of the HS2 Select Committee in the House of Lords hearing petitions in relation to Euston.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government recognises that congestion can affect the predictability and length of bus journey times and the reliability of buses. In 2015, the Department for Transport published its externally commissioned research into factors that influence bus journey times, which is attached for your ease of reference. This work included a literature review of the existing body of work in this area at the time the research was conducted.</p><p> </p><p>The vast majority of local bus services operate on the local road network for which local authorities, rather than the Secretary of State, are responsible. Local traffic authorities have a duty under section 16 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 to manage their road network so as to secure the expeditious movement of traffic, including bus services, on the network.</p><p> </p><p>The Bus Services Bill recognises the important role local transport authorities have in this regard, providing them with new means to work in partnership with bus operators to achieve improvements to local bus services that benefit passengers and local communities.</p>

answer text <p>We are determined to deliver better journeys for drivers and cut congestion. Lane rental enables councils to charge utilities companies for carrying out works on the busiest roads at the busiest times, to encourage them to keep disruption to a minimum on the local road network.</p><p> </p><p>Regulations and guidance were introduced in 2012 and led to the introduction of pioneer schemes by Transport for London in 2012 and Kent County Council in 2013. Charges were also applied under these schemes to the highway authority’s own maintenance works. The Department for Transport published an independent evaluation of the schemes in March 2016, which is attached for ease.</p><p> </p><p>The report is being used by the Department alongside other information to formulate options for the future of lane rental schemes. These are likely to be subject to consultation during 2017.</p> more like this
