uin	199027
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2023 answer text <p>Rail ticket sales data is commercially sensitive and managed by the Rail Delivery Group on behalf of train operators. If a train operator proposes to make a change to the opening hours, or closing of a ticket office, it must follow the rules set out in the rail industry’s Ticketing and Settlement Agreement (TSA). This is not a Government consultation exercise, but an industry led process. It would be for train operators to determine whether to publish information on rail ticket sales.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 18/09/2023 11:53:17 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

uin	199143
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2023 answer text <p>When proposing major changes to ticket office opening hours – including closures – train operators are required to take into account the adequacy of the proposed alternatives in relation to the needs of passengers who are disabled, and to include this in the notice of the proposal sent to other operators and passenger groups. When consulting, operators should have also clearly considered other equality-related needs.</p><p> </p><p>Operators prepared Equality Impact Assessments (EIAs), and these were available on train operator’s websites during the consultation. Government departments do not typically publish EIAs whilst policy is under development. We will consider publishing the EIA once we have considered the outcomes of the industry-led Ticketing and Settlement Agreement process.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 18/09/2023 08:18:11 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
