Written Question
Crewe-Derby Railway Line
Monday 3rd December 2018

Asked by: Andrew Griffiths (Conservative - Burton)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of providing additional signalling staff to enable the earlier running of Sunday services between Derby and Crewe.

Answered by Andrew Jones

The cost of providing additional signalling staff to enable earlier services to operate on Sundays between Derby and Crewe in the next East Midlands franchise is estimated to cost approximately £53,000 per annum. This cost was supplied by Network Rail prior to the ITT for the franchise being issued.

Delivering earlier services on this route on Sundays was a clear stakeholder aspiration raised during the public consultation for the franchise. Delivering this commitment will create wider economic benefits through enhanced rail services allowing greater access to jobs, leisure activities and shopping in the region.
