Andy Burnham vows to 'restore trust' after TransPennine Express brought under government control
Andy Burnham has vowed to 'restore trust' in train services for 'long-suffering passengers' following the announcement that TransPennine Express would be brought under government control.
The FirstGroup-owned operator, which covers an area across northern England and into Scotland, has been badly affected by drivers who are members of the Aslef union no longer volunteering to work paid overtime shifts. Latest figures showed TPE cancelled the equivalent of one in six services across most of March.
He added that the DfT has 'played our part but Aslef now need to play theirs' by calling off strikes and the ban on rest day working.
