PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Railways: Bedford (9 October 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the overall provision of Thameslink, London Midland and East Midlands services from London to Bedford to determine the requirements of rail users.

Asked by:
Mohammad Yasin (Labour)

In general terms, the requirements of rail users are at the heart of the UK’s railway and of rail franchising policy.

There is a robust process in place for determining the requirements of rail users, by way of the public consultations process as part of each franchise competition.
