To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answers of 13 and 20 July to Questions 161175 and 164445, for what reasons the Government did not provide an estimate of the economic cost of the disruption caused by the rail timetable changes introduced on (a) Northern Rail and (b) Govia Thameslink Railway from 20 May 2018.

Our current focus is on ensuring that performance improvements are sustained, and making sure that future updates take place without the issues that passengers have experienced since the most recent timetable change.
