Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to ensure public access to the Zipabout Passenger Connect service.
The Zipabout Passenger Connect service is freely available through the National Rail Enquiries (NRE) Alert Me service for anyone to sign up to via the website link (here: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/208333.aspx). The Department is working with NRE on increasing the visibility and promotion of the messaging service on the website and app.
Work is underway currently to consider how we can roll out similar services to users of other public transport.
