Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an estimate of the costs to LNER of operating once-a-day train services to (a) Hull and (b) Bradford.

London North Eastern Railway (LNER) already operates one service a day to Hull and two services a day, increasing to seven next month, to Bradford. The cost of these services are included within LNER's annual budget agreed by the Department.
