Recommendation 32
32
Ensure all Local Transport Authorities can receive information from GBR on request.
Recommendation
We acknowledge that effective local control over rail services can best be exercised at the level of strategic authorities. It is essential that all parts of England should be able to engage effectively with GBR and, in particular, to hold it to account for its local or regional performance. The Government must ensure that all Local Transport Authorities can receive information from GBR on request, and should investigate a role for MSAs and other LTAs on bodies reflecting GBR’s planned regional business units. (Recommendation, Paragraph 86)
