Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent steps his Department has taken to improve the service on Southern Rail.

Answered by Paul Maynard

On 1 September the Secretary of State announced a Network Rail £20m fund, to help improve resilience of the Southern network.
