Mr Lee Dillon

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to help restore direct off-peak Paddington services to (a) Hungerford and (b) Kintbury.

There are no current plans to increase the number of direct services between Paddington and Hungerford/Kintbury, as this would require additional rolling stock which is currently unfunded.
