Lord Beith (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 February 2026

Debate

Nationalised Passenger Rail Services

Contribution

Has the Minister assessed the impact of the new timetable on east coast main line punctuality? There have been some very severe delays, which are mainly infrastructure-related and therefore the responsibility of Network Rail, a different nationalised company. It appears that the new timetable does not give space to deal with delays when they arise.
