Thirdly, from a purely legislative point of view, it makes no sense to assign statutory consultee status to one existing statutory passenger watchdog and not to another, particularly when they share a similar background. As a statutory passenger body with a rail remit, London TravelWatch should have equal treatment to the Passengers’ Council under the Bill when it comes to consultation on rail policies and strategies that affect the capital. Doing otherwise risks diluting the ability to represent rail passenger views in London in future industry decision-making.
