This Franchise Agreement contains provisions for the management and monitoring of the quality of the service being provided by Southern.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department\u2019s Franchise Management team continues to maintain close regular contact with Southern. This includes monthly meetings with their senior management where performance figures are scrutinised and challenged. Whilst performance is not at the level passengers expect senior officials are in even more frequent contact with them.<\/p>

<\/p>

There are a range of enforcement mechanisms available to the Department in the event of non-compliance and we will take action if the level of service provided to passengers makes this necessary.

I have previously set out that I am considering the case but I cannot make any guarantees at this point. To provide additional compensation above Passenger Charter arrangements to passengers would place a large additional financial burden on this and future major projects which would in turn increase the cost to taxpayers.<\/p>

We are spending over £1bn rebuilding London Bridge station and upgrading the tracks in the London Bridge area as part of the £6.5bn Thameslink Programme upgrade. When complete in 2018, the Thameslink Programme will bring huge benefits, transforming north-south travel through London and providing direct access to Crossrail at Farringdon. It is important that we all recognise the scale of the task at hand. It is simply not possible to expand and enhance our Victorian era infrastructure - as seen at London Bridge - without some changes in services and some disruption. However, I have been clear that we must keep disruption to a minimum and keep passengers informed.<\/p>
