uin	9072
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2024 answer text <p>The current assumption is that all passenger trains on the Great Western Mainline will stop at the new Old Oak Common station. Current estimates indicate stopping trains at this station is likely to add approximately 3 minutes onto the journey time to London Paddington, though this would be dependent on further timetable analysis. Old Oak Common will provide onward connectivity to Birmingham via HS2 and Central London via the Elizabeth Line so we anticipate many customers from the West of England will choose to disembark at Old Oak Common.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 18/01/2024 15:15:19 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has had recent discussions with Great Western Railway on the potential impact of cancellations to night riviera services during engineering works on passenger revenues.
tabling member constituency	Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport
tabling member printed	Luke Pollard
uin	203117
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2023 answer text <p>Department officials have regular conversations with Great Western Railway about passenger revenues. In this case, to lessen the impact on passenger revenues, Network Rail has agreed to do this work in a series of eight-hour possessions over four-nights a week instead of closing the railway for longer periods through a complete blockade. This reduces the impact of the engineering works on passenger revenues, but unfortunately will impact on the operation of the night riviera services and associated revenues<strong>. </strong>Resignalling in Devon and Cornwall will improve reliability and offer options for improved timetables in the future<strong>.</strong></p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 24/10/2023 16:17:51 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
