Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, on how many days have there been delays on the Hereford to Paddington line due to signalling failures in each of the last three years; and what the length was of each such delay.

The Department does not hold this detailed information for the Hereford to Paddington line as it is an operational matter for Network Rail. The Hon. Member may wish to write to Network Rail’s CEO at the following address:

Mark Carne, Chief Executive Network Rail, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London, N1 9AG.
