Decisions on access to the rail network are a matter for the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) in its role as independent regulator for the rail industry and the Department for Transport is unable to direct the ORR in its decision making. Should Wrexham, Shropshire and Midlands Railway wish to include Wellington in Shropshire in future open access proposals they will need to apply to the ORR in the usual manner.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 20/03/2024 15:46:09 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
