FEARS of service or staff cuts on the back of the pandemic have been allayed by Rail Minister Chris Heaton-Harris, at least for the time being.
He indicated timetables may change in the future to reflect changing travel patterns, but there are currently no plans for significant service cuts.
He said: “No one knows what’s going to happen to commuter traffic coming forward.”
Mr Heaton-Harris did however suggest the pandemic could see a more robust timetable in the future as services are planned to ensure better performance, and added there would be cross-industry working with Network Rail to create resilient timetable.
