HC Deb 20 July 2001 vol 372 cc505-7W
Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions if he will list the punctuality statistics for each train operating company for each month since April 1995. [4831]

Mr. Jamieson

The Strategic Rail Authority and its predecessor Opraf have produced regular statistics on train operator performance in its Performance Bulletin and since June 2000 in its "On Track" publication. Copies of these are available in the Library of the House. These publications are also available on the SRA' s website: www.sra.gov.uk.

Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions if he will list for each train operating company(a) the percentage of journeys on which maximum levels of overcrowding were exceeded and (b) the average number of standing passengers per journey in (i) each year since 1995–96 and (ii) each month since April 1995. [4795]

Mr. Jamieson

The Strategic Rail Authority does not monitor passenger numbers in the form in which the information is requested.

Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what the average age of fleet for each train operating company(a) was for each month since their franchise was awarded, (b) was for each year since their franchise was awarded and (c) is projected for each year under the remainder of their franchise agreement; and if he will make a statement. [4796]

Mr. Jamieson

The information is not available in the form requested. However, the table shows the current life expiry of existing rolling stock on the network. The Government have made regulations requiring the removal of Mark 1 slam-door stock by the end of 2004. Since privatisation, over 3,300 new passenger vehicles have been ordered of which nearly half are in service or expected to enter service by the end of 2001.
