answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to improving journeys for passengers in the East Midlands, which is why we are delivering the biggest upgrade of the Midland Main Line route since it was completed in 1870. Passengers will see modern trains introduced across the route during the next East Midlands franchise, including a fleet of brand new bi-mode intercity trains. The upgrade will enable increased passenger capacity and improved journey times, thereby improving the overall experience for passengers.</p><p> </p><p>In an extensive public consultation last summer we sought views on the future of East Midlands rail services to ensure the new franchise delivers the best railway for passengers, communities and businesses, including how local train services can be improved to meet current and future needs more effectively.</p><p> </p><p>The consultation closed on 11 October 2017. All options for rail services in the next franchise are subject to analysis of the potential benefits and the responses we received to the consultation. No decisions have yet been made on the rail services that will be specified. Any outcome will seek to secure the best value for money for the taxpayer and be in the best interests of rail passengers.</p><p> </p><p>The next East Midlands franchise is planned to start in August 2019. Invitations to Tender (ITT) are due to be issued to potential bidders shortly. The ITT will set out the minimum requirements and provide the baseline that we expect the next franchise to build on.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 02/05/2018 15:14:10 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2018 answer text <p>The Bus Services Act 2017 provides the tools local authorities need to improve local bus services. We are working with local authorities to determine which of the powers provided are best able to support bus networks in their areas.</p><p> </p><p>In particular, new Enhanced Partnership and Advanced Quality Partnership powers provide the framework for authorities to work side by side with operators to set a shared vision for bus services in their area.</p><p> </p><p>Bus Open Data powers will require bus operators in England to open up route and timetable, fares and tickets and real time information for passengers by 2020. These improvements aim to remove uncertainty in bus journeys, improve journey planning and help passengers secure best value tickets.</p><p> </p><p>Accessible Information powers will require all operators of local bus services to provide audio and visual route and next stop announcements on board buses across Great Britain, helping to remove barriers to bus travel particularly for those with disabilities or accessibility needs.</p><p> </p><p>The Government also continues to invest in public transport. City regions in the East Midlands and Nottinghamshire with workday populations above around 200,000 people are eligible to submit proposals for a share of the remaining £840m from the Transforming Cities Fund to improve public transport in their cities.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 27/04/2018 11:11:56 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
