To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to change the process for awarding the franchise held by South West Trains.
The award of the South Western franchise to replace the existing South West Trains and Island Line franchises in February 2007 will follow a similar process to that adopted for the Greater Western and Thameslink/Great Northern replacements currently out to market. The process is set out in Franchise Replacement Process, June 2005", which is available on the SRA website.
