HC Deb 12 February 2002 vol 380 c217W
Mr. Grogan

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions if the new TransPennine franchise will ensure that services continue to stop at South Milford station(a) on Sundays and (b) in the evenings when there is no alternative service. [32035]

Mr. Jamieson

Services departing from Hull after 19.00 and departing Leeds after 18.45 Mondays to Fridays, 18.15 Saturdays and Sundays, currently call at South Milford and these are protected by the Passenger Service Requirement (PSR). Bidders for the new TransPennine Express franchise have been instructed by the Strategic Rail Authority that services protected by the PSR must be maintained.
