The Department is expecting to shortly receive the Office of Rail and Road’s review of Network Rail’s targets for train performance at route level, after which OMR plans can be considered in the round for agreement. I expect the Delivery Plan to be published on Network Rail’s website in the near future to assist with industry forward planning.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 09/05/2016 15:13:06 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
