To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which railway routes on the England and Wales rail network have temporary non-compliance status from Network Rail and allow the practice of dumping human waste and effluent on railway tracks.
Chris Heaton-Harris
Minister of State (Department for Transport)
Non-compliance status is granted to operators and not routes.
The following franchised train operators have applied for, and been granted, temporary non-compliance status: Chiltern, CrossCountry, East Midlands Railway, Great Western Railway, Greater Anglia, Northern, West Midlands Trains and Transport for Wales.
Other operators, such as charter and heritage, for which the Department is not responsible for have also been issued with non-compliance status by Network Rail.
