Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much public money has been paid to train operating companies on days where their services have not been able to run to due strike action since 1 January 2022.
Operators are compensated for all reasonable costs incurred that are accumulated in accordance with the terms of the contract; these are paid on a rail period basis with no distinction made for costs incurred on a strike day versus those incurred on non-strike days.
