Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to ensure that (1) train companies allow use of reusable cups at onboard catering facilities, and (2) provide free drinking water on trains.

The Government does not plan to require train operating companies to allow use of reusable cups at onboard catering facilities and provide free drinking water onboard trains. Drinking water is now available onboard some trains and at many stations. Train operating companies are required to reduce waste and increase recycling annually, but the Government does not specify how these targets should be achieved.
