Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department plans to coordinate with train operators on the eventual lifting of (a) work from home instructions and (b) other Plan B covid-19 measures to help ensure that there will be enough trains running to meet the anticipated demand.

Throughout the pandemic, the Department has worked with operators as they manage their timetables to ensure that services meet the demand for travel and deliver good value for money. The Department will continue to engage with operators on changes to guidance and other Plan B measures to ensure that services meet demand as staff absence pressures ease.
