Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much in financial penalties and claw backs has been incurred by Network Rail for performance-related matters and paid to each train operator in each of the last five years.
The financial penalties and clawbacks incurred by Network Rail for performance-related matters are set by the rail regulator through track access contracts. These are referred to as ‘Schedule 4’ and ‘Schedule 8’, the relevant sections of the Track Access Agreement.
The table below sets out how much has been paid to each operator over the past four years. Data is only readily available in this format for the past four years. All figures are in millions of pounds.
