Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the cost to the public purse has been of processes enacted by his Department following the issuing of mandates to train operating companies on station reform in 2023.

No estimate of these costs are available. Government had asked train operators to reduce the cost of the industry to the taxpayer given the challenging financial situation facing the railways; as well as ensure staff are deployed where they are most needed by passengers.
