question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, as a result of Great Western Railway (GWR) IEP trains running early and having to wait at intermediate stations, they intend to allow alterations to the GWR timetable in May.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL12975
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2019 answer text <p>The replacement of Great Western Railway High Speed Trains by new Intercity Express Trains is not yet complete, and a key lesson from the May 2018 timetable issues is not to plan major timetable changes that rely on the completion of major programmes until all the relevant elements which need to be in place have been delivered. Network Rail is responsible for making changes to the timetable and is working with GWR to deliver a new timetable that delivers the journey time and capacity benefits of the Intercity Express Trains in a robust manner as soon as possible.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 01/02/2019 11:44:35 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
