Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which of the 38 recommendations in the Gibb report his Department has decided not to implement.

Four recommendations made by Chris Gibb have not been accepted by the Department for Transport at this time. We are not currently reviewing off peak frequencies at low use stations, because a Thameslink consultation is under way. A recommendation to procure more Class 700 trains has not been accepted for commercial reasons. Chris Gibb also recommended a fares and ticketing review of Gatwick services. However, this is not consistent with Government fares policy. A recommendation to transfer specific routes to Transport for London requires further assessment.
