Transport Focus statement on new train services between Lancashire and London
07 August 2015
Commenting on today’s announcement by the Office of Rail Regulation that it had approved new off-peak train services between Lancashire and London, Anthony Smith, Transport Focus’s chief executive, said:
“Passengers will welcome the extra choice these new services will bring, particularly for those wishing to travel between Lancashire and London without changing trains. Open-access train operators usually have high levels of passenger satisfaction, so Great North Western Railway Company will need to work hard to emulate this.”
