tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL12261
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>Determining the required capacity at existing stations is an operational matter for the relevant station operator. In most cases this is the franchised train operator; it is the responsibility of Network Rail at the 20 stations it manages.</p><p> </p><p>Through franchise agreements, the Department may set out specific requirements in relation to car park facilities at stations where we deem it appropriate. More generally, we expect train operating companies and Network Rail to deliver facilities and an environment at stations which supports customer needs and experience. This requires working pro-actively with local partners to ensure the station is fully integrated with wider transport infrastructure, enabling appropriate access to and from the station at all times.</p><p> </p><p>The promoter of a new station or enhancement project may conduct a capacity assessment of car parking facilities at a station on a case by case basis to inform requirements of the proposed scheme.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 18/12/2018 15:19:42 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
