To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much has been repaid to Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) to allow for lost revenue as a consequence of industrial action; how much has been set aside for associated passenger compensation; and how much Network Rail has paid to GTR as compensation for infrastructure upgrade delays.

Under the terms of Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern Franchise Agreement revenue risk lies with the Department. This means that GTR do not retain passenger revenue.

No additional money has been set aside for passenger compensation due as a result of current industrial action. However this will be kept under review.

The Department does not hold information on payments between Network Rail and franchised operators. Network Rail publish details of these payments annually which can be found on their website.
