Kelvin Hopkins – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Kelvin Hopkins on 2016-03-03.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate his Department has made of the proportion of the rail network that will be driver-only operated by (a) 2020 and (b) 2025.

Claire Perry

Staffing levels are generally a matter for railway operators, as we believe that they are best placed to determine how to meet the needs of their passengers. Therefore, no such estimate has been made.
