answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2024 answer text <p>The Department for Education is the lead government department with responsibility for policy on home to school transport, including provision for pupils with special educational needs.</p><p> </p><p>With regard to the national bus fare cap, this will be designed to be as equitable as possible in terms of its support for passengers across England. One of the key principles of the scheme will be to include ‘open’ services which allows any member of public to board. ‘Closed’ school services, defined as a service which would not allow a member of the general public to board, and school services which operate in term-time only will not be eligible for inclusion.</p><p> </p><p>Services from participating operators that serve schools, are open to members of the public and run all year round will be eligible for inclusion in the scheme. This is the same approach as that taken under the current fare cap.</p> answering member constituency Wakefield and Rothwell answering member printed Simon Lightwood question first answered 09/12/2024 10:20:37 answering member 4943 label Biography information for Simon Lightwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2024 answer text <p>The exact costs associated with the transfer of a train operator’s services cannot be determined with any certainty at this stage. Each operator will have their own circumstances that need to be addressed to enable a successful transfer.</p><p> </p><p>The process to transfer South Western Railways will involve some mobilisation and due diligence costs, and the transfer programme as a whole will also incur costs, for example, to increase DfT Operator Ltd capacity. However, these costs are expected to be a fraction of the £110-150 million per year in fees to private operators that will no longer have to be funded by the taxpayer once all franchised services are back in public ownership.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wakefield and Rothwell answering member printed Simon Lightwood question first answered 09/12/2024 17:06:16 answering member 4943 label Biography information for Simon Lightwood
