Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Davies of Gower on 12 February (HL1979), when the train service specification for the TransPennine route was last revised and passed to Network Rail.

A number of train service specifications were developed as part of the Business Case development process for TransPennine Route Upgrade. This was last provided to Network Rail in 2023 as part of a review of the integration between other major infrastructure programmes. The final train service specification has yet to be finalised and approved.
