In response to the rail minister, Huw Merriman MP, talking at the Transport Select Committee on rail services and infrastructure, a spokesperson for Rail Partners said:
‘It’s great to hear Huw Merriman MP committing to reform national rail contracts by giving operators more incentives and freedoms to attract more customers back to the railway and in turn grow revenue to secure a healthy, sustainable rail network.
