Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Rail Industry Associations criteria for the new railway body, Great British Railways, what steps his Department taking to ensure they are clear and transparent with rail suppliers.

The Department and the Great British Railways Transition Team are continuing to work with the rail sector to ensure a common understanding of the vision, establish the phases of delivery, and work collectively with the sector to design our new guiding mind for the railways, Great British Railways. We are ensuring this engagement is as open and transparent as possible.
