§ Lord Bradshawasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Davies of Oldham on 11 December (WA 90), whether the replacement bus service at Congleton Station during September and early October, when the train service was disrupted by engineering work, operated at all time specified in the passenger service requirement; and whether it was adequately publicised at the stations affected and through the National Rail Enquiry Service. [HL453]
§ Lord Davies of OldhamThe replacement bus service was publicised by leaflets to passengers and provision of details to the National Rail Enquiry Service. The service was provided, by Fraser Eagle, generally to a high standard. About 95 per cent of the buses operated 191WA as scheduled. The problems with a minority of services were taken up with the operator.
