answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2015 answer text <p>The Department is considering the option of specifying that, where appropriate, drivers take on the job of opening and closing the train doors on the Northern Rail and Transpenine Express franchises, as happens on many other parts of the railway, but no decision has yet been taken. This would have the potential to reduce delays by shortening dwell time at platforms and mitigate the risk of delay or cancellation due to conductor unavailability.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 23/01/2015 10:44:39 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
