Although the work to reinstate the track is now finished, Network Rail has yet to complete the signalling infrastructure works that will allow trains to run through the full length of the curve in both directions. Once Network Rail has finished all the necessary infrastructure works, Northern will be able to begin driver route training.<\/p>

<\/p>

Northern Rail, in consultation with Lancashire County Council, the project sponsor, have informed the Department for Transport that they are working towards implementing train services from the start of the May 2015 timetable change, subject to signing a formal funding agreement contract with Lancashire County Council.  Northern will endeavour to introduce services as soon as is practicable, subject to agreement being reached over the local funding.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1557", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Kramer"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Kramer"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-08-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-08-04T10:11:57.0351165Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Todmorden Curve Line"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government whether the introduction of railway services between Manchester and East Lancashire via the Todmorden curve is still expected to take place by December 2014; and, if not, what are the reasons for the delay.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2569", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Greaves"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Greaves"} ], "uin" : "HL1644"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79758", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Wales Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79758/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

This Government has demonstrated a clear commitment to devolution in Wales and that will continue regardless of the outcome of the referendum on Scottish independence. The Wales Bill delivers on most of the Silk Commission\u2019s part one recommendations and the Government is currently considering the Commission\u2019s part two recommendations that do not require primary legislation.<\/p>

Any further changes to the devolution settlement in Wales, including consideration of the recommendations in the Silk Commission\u2019s second report that do require primary legislation are matters for the next Parliament and should therefore inform party manifestoes for next year\u2019s General Election.<\/p>

In April this year, I convened a high level meeting between the Association of British Insurers and the British Lung Foundation (BLF) to discuss how insurers can remain engaged in support for mesothelioma research following earlier donated funding. Departmental officials attended this meeting. Discussions between the BLF and insurers are ongoing. The Department has no direct role in these discussions but is monitoring progress.<\/p>

Any further funding made available by insurers for mesothelioma research will be in addition to existing sources of public funding. The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has highlighted to the research community that it wants to encourage research applications in mesothelioma.

Statistics on the prevalence of mesothelioma in the United Kingdom \u2013 that is, the number of people that had the disease at a particular time or in a particular period \u2013 are not available. However, mesothelioma prevalence is known to be approximately equivalent to annual mesothelioma mortality.<\/p>

The Department for Transport publishes concessionary travel statistics for each local authority in England showing, for older and disabled people: the total reimbursement of bus operators; the average reimbursement per journey; the average reimbursement per pass.<\/p>

<\/p>

These figures are obtained from bus operators through the annual Concessionary Travel Survey. They do not show reimbursement as a proportion of the full-fare cost of a journey and, as the figures include both older and disabled travellers, it is not possible to provide figures for older people only. In addition, if bus operators indicate that the information is commercially sensitive, it is not included in the final published table.<\/p>

<\/p>

The available statistics cover the years 2010/11 to 2012/13 and can be found on the GOV.UK website at:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/265955/bus0832.xls<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We do not hold these statistics at local authority level for 2005/06 or 2009/10.
