answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2024 answer text <p>Performance varies across the network and is dependent on both reliable infrastructure and strong operator performance. Where we have both, as on Anglia, passengers enjoy great performance and I’m clear this is the standard for all operators to achieve working with their Network Rail route counterparts. I regularly meet Network Rail and train operators to encourage greater collaboration on day-to-day performance including convening a rail industry summit in March.</p><p> </p><p>Reforming and modernising the railway is essential to delivering a more reliable rail network that is financially sustainable and improves the experience for passengers. Outdated working practices, like relying on voluntary overtime to run trains every day of the week, increases the likelihood of cancellations and prevents passengers getting the service they pay for and deserve.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 16/05/2024 15:13:30 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

This group brings together most of the Passenger Services Group and the Rail Infrastructure Group. This single team, focussed on the day-to-day operational performance of the railway, will pave the way to an integrated rail body.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 16/05/2024 12:49:20 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
