Railways in Parliament

摘要

BOB Seely (Isle of Wight) asked whether the cost of necessary infrastructure works on the Ryde Pier rail route will be funded by Network Rail, and whether such funding will be borne by the public purse and the franchise. Transport Minister Paul Maynard said:"The infrastructure on the Isle of Wight is owned by Network Rail and the responsibilities for maintenance and renewal of these assets is apportioned between Network Rail and the Train Operating Company (South Western Railway, SWR) under the terms of the lease between these organisations. This lease is due for renewal in 2019.
