The Ministry of Justice collect statistics on the prosecution of drink drive offences and The Department for Transport collects casualty statistics involving drink driving. These statistics are published on GOV.UK The Department is working with the Ministry of Justice to see if we can make the link between drink drive prosecutions and casualties.

The current European Infrastructure Technical Standard for Interoperability (TSI) allows platform heights of 550mm or 760mm above rail level (ARL). In addition, the UK currently has a \u2018National Technical Rule\u2019 which includes a \u2018Specific Case\u2019 allowing platform heights of 915mm ARL, reflecting the historic platform height on the majority of our existing network.<\/p>
<\/p>
HS2 is not, as such, proposing to specify a train floor height. What we will be asking rolling stock manufacturers (RSMs) to do is to provide level access to a platform height of 1115mm, or, if they do not believe that is achievable, to tell us at what height platform they could provide level access.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have proposed to the European Commission an amendment to the current European standards to allow for our preferred platform height and we remain in discussions with them with a view to securing the ability to adopt our preferred platform height through these or alternative means.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-12-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-12-19T14:10:35.207Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-12-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "High Speed 2 Line"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government, under the current technical specifications for interoperability, what height differences between station platforms and top of rail level are allowed for new HS2 stations; what heights are specified by HS2 for new train floor height and station platform heights; and what derogation, if any, they have sought and received to those heights for new HS2 platforms.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3526", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Berkeley"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Berkeley"} ], "uin" : "HL3980"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/654268", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/654268/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Government regulates the price of certain rail fares in order to protect passengers. Other fares are unregulated, and train operators are permitted to set these on a commercial basis, taking account of competition between operators and from other transport modes and the need to attract business in order to grow their revenue. This Government has committed to capping regulated rail fares at RPI+0% for the term of this Parliament to 2020, which means that people\u2019s earnings have on average risen faster than regulated rail fares this year. This will benefit over a quarter of a million annual season ticket holders, providing an average saving of £425 in the five years to 2020.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-12-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-12-19T14:09:44.847Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-12-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Railways: Fares"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what assessment they have made of proposed rises in train fares.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1796", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Taylor of Warwick"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Taylor of Warwick"} ], "uin" : "HL3933"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/652971", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/652971/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Department for Transport does not routinely estimate congestion costs however, as part of the Eddington study in 2006, the Department estimated congestion costs in the most congested Local Authorities and in 2009 published a congestion map as part of the DASTS (Delivering A Sustainable Transport Strategy) City and Regional Networks Data Book showing the most congested towns and cities. The DASTS Databook Annex14 is available at:<\/p>
