Rail passenger services in London and the south east: a new approach

This prospectus contains a number of proposals for improving rail passenger services in London and the south east.

It is proposed that a new working partnership is formed to provide strategic direction for the specification and management of rail services. The partnership would consist of:

• Department for Transport
• Transport for London

It will work closely with local authorities, local enterprise partnerships and other local and regional bodies. This partnership has been proposed to provide:

• more frequent rail services
• better rail interchanges
• increased rail capacity
• greater reliability of rail services
• high standards of customer service
