HC Deb 01 July 2002 vol 388 c103W
Mr. Rooney

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport for what reason the frequency of the Bradford Forster Square to King's Cross service has been reduced to two journeys each way per day. [65230]

Mr. Jamieson

Great North Eastern Railway's Passenger Service Requirement, which is a key part of their Franchise Agreement, requires them to provide two services each weekday between London King's Cross and Bradford and one in the opposite direction. The new Summer Timetable does, however, provide an additional 11 daily trains between London and Leeds offering connections to Bradford.
