Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 22 November 2016 to Question 53644, on Govia Thameslink Railway, if he will publish the force majeure guidance provided to operators.
The Department has not issued general guidance to franchised train operating companies, as the force majeure provisions are defined as part of franchise agreements, which form the contract between the Department for Transport and train operating companies for the provision of franchised rail passenger services.
