Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many surveys his Department has commissioned from Savanta to understand rail passengers’ travel patterns since 7 June 2022.
As well as the research to understand rail passengers’ travel behaviours during rail strikes, Savanta was awarded a contract in August 2022 to deliver an online Rail Tracker Survey. This will deliver regular data collection for the Department on a wide range of rail topics relevant to rail reform.
