Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps Great British Railways is taking to ensure that rail services connect with other modes of transport; and what technology he plans to use to support a seamless passenger experience.
The Great British Railways Transition Team is clear on the importance of rail integrating with other modes of transport, as emphasised in the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail. Their recent call for evidence for the Whole Industry Strategic Plan, a 30-year strategy for the rail sector, sought responses on a range of topics including passenger experience, technology and modal integration. They are analysing responses ahead of the Call for Evidence Report shortly.
