	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what sanctions have been applied in the last 12 months for poor quality performance on the Birmingham Cross City line by London Midland.
	tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
	uin	HL5871
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2014 answer text We have applied no sanctions against London Midland in regard to performance on the Birmingham Cross City line; we do not disaggregate performance by the train operators to that level. In the autumn of 2012 London Midland experienced a high number of cancellations, largely due to issues with availability of train crew. As a result, they breached the terms of their Franchise Agreement, and a remedial plan and package of benefits was agreed with the Department. As the Secretary of State for Transport announced to the House on 20 December 2012, this package included passenger benefits of: 500,000 discounted tickets, free travel for season ticket holders (worth up to c.£5.4m), capital investment, and additional driver training investment worth a combined £6.25m answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 24/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

	tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
	uin	HL1733
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/07/2015 answer text <p>There have been no formal discussions between the Department for Transport and Transport for London (TfL) about increasing the number of wheelchairs allowed on London Buses at any one time. However, TfL is encouraging vehicle manufacturers to maximise the space available within the designated wheelchair bay. This will make it easier for wheelchair users to move into the area and place themselves in the correct position – the back of the wheelchair against the back rest.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 27/07/2015 16:04:22 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether East Coast Rail has carried out any study or projections of what would be the effect of converting one carriage on the East Coast intercity from first class to second class.
	tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
	uin	HL2274
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>East Coast has conducted some limited analysis on the effect of converting first to standard class carriages on the franchise. Their analysis shows that standard class is not currently capacity constrained. As such, they consider that there is no immediate demand for more standard class carriages and, especially considering the upcoming introduction of the new InterCity Express trains, such a conversion is not likely to provide the best outcome for East Coast passengers or taxpayers.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 28/10/2014 15:27:09 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

	question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the comments of the Chair of the National Infrastructure Commission in the Financial Times on 26 November, in which he casts doubt on the Government’s plan for connecting the HS2 rail line to Euston through private financing.
	tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
	uin	HL1107
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2023 answer text <p>The Network North paper published by the Department for Transport on 4 October 2023 sets out that private finance will be leveraged to ensure contributions to the cost of Euston from those people and businesses it supports. The opportunity for regeneration and new homes in the Euston area is one of the largest in central London. This development-led approach will bring in private finance, along with a reduction of the transport scope to deliver only what is required at Euston. This will reduce the costs to the taxpayer. We are also taking on the lessons of success stories such as Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms, which secured £9 billion of private sector investment. The exact design of the model to be used, how it is taken to market, as well as how and where the alternative funding generated by this will be spent, is commercially sensitive and still subject to further work to ensure we are optimising funding and delivery. Ministers and officials have held positive initial conversations with potential funders. There will be a range of options within this that are still being considered and will require more time to develop before a final proposal is determined.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 20/12/2023 09:54:21 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower
