The Department is in regular dialogue with South Western Railway and monitoring very closely developments on the Dec-22 Timetable Specification. Stakeholders are encouraged to reference future developments in their responses to the consultation to help South Western Railway plan for future demand.

The industry is committed to working with local communities and stakeholders to match capacity to demand in the future, based on robust plans that can demonstrate value for the taxpayer.
