Fare evasion is a burden on taxpayers which we expect train companies to robustly manage. In January 2023, the Department increased the Penalty Fare to ensure it provides an effective deterrent for train companies to use.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 13/09/2023 14:30:08 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what scenarios have been run under the National Transport Model in the last five years.
tabling member constituency	Bath
tabling member printed	Wera Hobhouse
uin	197826
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2023 answer text <p>The National Transport Model (NTM) is used by the Department for Transport to analyse possible future travel behaviour, and so to inform investment and policy decisions. Scenarios are a method used by analysts to understand uncertainty, taking different inputs and assumptions into the modelling.</p><p>One use of the NTM is to provide the projections for the Department’s regular publications, most recently the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-road-traffic-projections" target="_blank">National Road Traffic Projections 2022</a>. The NTM was used to run a Core Scenario and seven Common Analytical Scenarios. These scenarios have been created to explore key drivers of uncertainty on transport demand, including the economy, decarbonisation, behaviour and technology. Full descriptors of these scenarios can be found in DfT’s <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tag-uncertainty-toolkit" target="_blank">Uncertainty Toolkit</a> as well as in the National Road Traffic Projections report. The outputs of these runs are also in the report, as well as published data files on the same webpage.</p><p>Prior to the National Road Traffic Projections, the Department published the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/road-traffic-forecasts-2018" target="_blank">Road Traffic Forecasts</a> in 2018. These included scenarios that have since been superseded by the Common Analytical Scenarios, but were an improvement on previous publications. These scenarios explored GDP, fuel price, migration, behaviour and decarbonisation of vehicles. The full descriptions of these scenarios, as well as the outputs from the modelling, are published in the report and associated data tables.</p><p>In addition to the Department’s regular publications, the NTM serves as an invaluable departmental analytical tool. As with many other models, it is used to inform policy decisions, as well as undertaking exploratory analysis to understand possible impacts of in areas the Department know to be significant in travel behaviour (for example, changes in GDP projections).</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 12/09/2023 14:38:20 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

The aim is to reconnect smaller communities, regenerate local economies and improve access to jobs, homes and education. The Dartmoor line (between Okehampton and Exeter) marked the first reopening in November 2021, opening two years ahead of schedule, and Marsh Barton station opened in July 2023.</p><p> </p><p>Of the eight towns listed above, seven (Washington, Swadlincote, Blyth, Aldridge, Coalville, Wisbech and Witney) have been considered by the RYR programme and four (Swadlincote, Blyth, Aldridge and Coalville) have been considered within the scope of RYR-funded projects, including the Northumberland Line, Ivanhoe Line and Aldridge Line Upgrade.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 12/09/2023 14:53:36 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
