Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment has the Department made of trends in seasonal variations in train reliability in the East Grinstead and Uckfield constituency, particularly during winter months.
This question was answered on 13th January 2026
The performance of the rail network is affected by the weather throughout the year. This is reflected both in actual performance and the targets the department sets train operators.
Operators are expected to mitigate the impacts of seasonal variations and Govia Thameslink Railway operates a winter preparedness plan to respond to specific challenges in the East Grinstead and Uckfield area.
