Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many electric vehicle charging points have been installed at car parks operated by Network Rail; where those charging points have been installed; and what is Network Rail’s programme for future installation of such points.

There are 35 car parks that are owned by Network Rail and operated on its behalf directly. Two charging points will be installed shortly at two of these stations, London Victoria and Birmingham New Street. Network Rail is developing plans to install 180 charging points across the 35 stations operated on its behalf by 2024. My Rt Hon Friend, the Secretary of State, has also recently written to Network Rail asking them to accelerate their plans for installing electric vehicle charge points.

Other car parks are owned by Network Rail but operated by Train Operating Companies. Network Rail is currently collecting the charging point data for these car parks before developing a charging point strategy for them.
