	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2018 answer text <p>Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) and Network Rail have agreed service recovery plans in place that are activated depending on the specific incident, its location on the network, destination and time of day.</p><p> </p><p>Recognising the potential impact of delays on passengers these plans will typically balance trying to get the maximum number of passengers to their destination as quickly as possible, recovering the delays whilst also attempting to ensure no further delays and obstructions are introduced across the network. There will be times that these plans need to be adapted to suit the situation and scale of the incident. As such it is important that decisions are taken by operational staff within Network Rail and GTR as they are best placed to understand the potential impact on passengers on a case by case basis.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 18/09/2018 11:37:06 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

A building designed to carry vehicles on multiple levels will have an engineered load bearing capacity; it is the responsibility of the building owner to ensure that operational weight limits take into account the type or structural condition of the building and its capacity to support vehicles.

We expect the review of these standards to include considerations associated with electrical vehicles.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 18/09/2023 15:49:13 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook
