question text	To ask His Majesty's Government how many intercity train services operated by Great Western Railway are operating in unplanned short formation; what is the reason for this; and when the normal operating arrangements will be reinstated.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL4136
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>1.37 per cent of Intercity Trains were short formed in period 13 (the most recent rail period). Although more reliable than the trains they replaced, Great Western Railway has more intercity sets out of service than normal due to damage caused by infrastructure issues (such as flooding), the long-term crack repairs programme, and the impact of poor performance on the network. Great Western Railway is working with Hitachi Rail Group to resolve this and senior staff at Great Western Railway meet frequently with Hitachi counterparts to ensure that the necessary fleet numbers are available.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 13/05/2024 15:49:42 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower
