answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold this information. Govia Thameslink Railway, the operator of Thameslink services, has procedures in place for instances where a service operating without a second member of staff on board calls at an unstaffed station. For passengers who require assistance, there are a range of measures in place depending on the type of assistance that is required and the specific station. These measures are set out in Thameslink’s Disabled Persons Protection Policy (DPPP) which is available through this link: <a href="https://www.thameslinkrailway.com/travel-information/travel-help/assisted-travel/disabled-persons-protection-policy" target="_blank">https://www.thameslinkrailway.com/travel-information/travel-help/assisted-travel/disabled-persons-protection-policy</a>.</p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 29/07/2019 16:48:00 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2019 answer text <p>The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) and the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) have both confirmed that the driver operating the doors is a safe method of working. It is vital that train operators have policies in place so that passengers with disabilities are able to travel with confidence. ORR is the organisation which is responsible for the approval and monitoring of operators’ Disabled People’s Protection Policies (DPPP). Following the introduction of driver-controlled operation on Southern, ORR carried out a period of enhanced monitoring to ensure that policies were in place on Southern so that disabled passengers, regardless of whether they had pre-booked assistance or chose to travel spontaneously, and regardless of whether they were travelling to a staffed or unstaffed station, were able to complete their journey. ORR concluded that GTR had provided assurance that it has the systems and processes in place for this purpose. ORR continues to monitor operators’ compliance with their DPPP, and the Department supports it in doing so.</p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 29/07/2019 16:47:20 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
