Responding to proposals published today on the future of rail travel in London, Paul Plummer, chief executive of the Rail Delivery Group, which represents Network Rail and train operators, said:
"The rail industry works closely with both TfL and the DfT to run services and will work with them to help continue to improve services for passengers and make the best possible use of scarce capacity on our network. The railway in and around London is full in many places and, even with planned improvements to allow more trains to run, the desire for more services for passengers in the capital will have to be balanced with the needs of passengers further away and with the needs of rail freight. With around 70% of journeys starting or ending in London, getting this balance right is crucial to both the country and capital."
