answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2017 answer text <p>Four recommendations made by Chris Gibb have not been accepted by the Department for Transport at this time. We are not currently reviewing off peak frequencies at low use stations, because a Thameslink consultation is under way. A recommendation to procure more Class 700 trains has not been accepted for commercial reasons. Chris Gibb also recommended a fares and ticketing review of Gatwick services. However, this is not consistent with Government fares policy. A recommendation to transfer specific routes to Transport for London requires further assessment.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 24/07/2017 13:45:56 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
