The assessment of demand and capacity outcomes for HLOS1 (2009-14) is being undertaken in-house by the Department based on information provided by the rail industry. The cost is primarily the use of existing staff. The benefits of HLOS2 (2014-19) are being appraised on a project by project basis at present, with wider data also being gathered for a review when the five year investment period has concluded in 2019.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 22 February 2016 to Question 27121, what the implied average annual season ticket fare referred to in that Answer is.
Claire Perry
The cost of annual season tickets varies by route. The Department for Transport has access to commercially confidential information which allows us to assess how many season tickets have been sold at which prices, to determine the average season ticket price. This process was originally carried out using 13/14 sales data and then increased in line with regulated fares policy. Because this information is derived from information we are licensed to use, from the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC), we are not able to share this publically.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Cabinet Secretary is undertaking a review of High Speed 2.

As is normal for large projects, the Cabinet Office’s Infrastructure and Projects Authority is conducting assurance of the HS2 programme as it proceeds into its delivery phase.
It is standard practice for this to include a small cross Government team, and not unusual for the Cabinet Secretary to take an interest on projects of this scale.
