Answer
The Department recognises the importance of a high performing railway in contributing to growth and local economies. Avanti West Coast (AWC) temporarily reduced its overall timetable to ensure a more stable and reliable service for passengers. AWC plans to reinstate its full timetable between London and Manchester in December. Crucially, this uplift in services is not dependent on driver rest day working.
