question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of rail privatisation on (a) investment in the rail network, (b) the performance of the rail network and the quality of services and (c) the public purse.
tabling member constituency	Esher and Walton
tabling member printed	Mr Dominic Raab
uin	219414
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2015 answer text <p>Since Privatisation annual rail passenger journey growth has averaged almost 4%, compared to 0.58% over the previous 60 years and the number of passenger journeys has more than doubled from 735 million in 1994/95 to 1.6 billion journeys in 2013/14. On a network roughly the same size as 15 years ago there are now 4,000 more services a day, which are all delivered through dynamic private sector stewardship with the flexibility to respond to the needs of passengers. This is reflected in improved passenger satisfaction scores, which are at a higher level now than when these were first collected in the late 1990s.</p><p> </p><p>Investment in the rail network is at record levels and the Government’s Rail Investment Strategy will see £38bn spent by Network Rail on enhancing and maintaining the network between 2014-2019.</p><p> </p><p>There is no consistent performance measure that has been in place since privatisation so it is not possible to make a meaningful comparison. However, performance in recent years has been higher than it was in the later 1990s, when figures were first available, on a network that is far busier and safer than it was at that time.</p><p> </p><p>Private sector train operating companies provide billions of pounds to the public purse. The last 5 franchises let by this Government alone (Thameslink Southern Great Northern; Essex Thameside; InterCity West Coast; South Eastern; InterCity East Coast) are due to pay over £9bn to the Department for Transport over the lives of their contracts.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry grouped question UIN 219215 question first answered 08/01/2015 11:08:13 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry previous answer version 37063 answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
