answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2017 answer text <p>Keeping passengers and staff safe on our railways is paramount. With a growing number of railways users it is likely that we will need more people not fewer, working on our railways and helping passengers. Trains where the driver operates the doors often retain a second member of crew on board, who can offer advice and assistance to passengers, and these trains have been used safely in the UK for more than 30 years. The independent rail regulator, the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), and the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) have also said that trains where drivers control the doors are safe.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 07/11/2017 11:33:15 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
