To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the quality of the (a) track and (b) related rail infrastructure on the South Yorkshire Joint Railway line.
The Department has not made such assessment. Network Rail operates at arm’s length from the Department for Transport, with independence on day-to-day operational decisions. This is important for efficiency and maintaining the company’s accountability and for Network Rail to deliver a safe and reliable railway infrastructure.
