Tom Brake: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the (a) track, (b) signalling and (c) rolling stock failures which have occurred on each of the London Underground lines in each of the last six years. [102171] Mr. Jamieson: These are operational matters for London Underground who have provided the information set out in the tables relating to delays of at least two minutes resulting from problems with the relevant type of asset. The number of delays is primarily a consequence of problems with ageing and life-expired assets following decades of under investment in the underground. This emphasises the urgent need for the major investment and maintenance, some £16 billion over the next 15 years, which our tube modernisation plans will deliver.

[14589] Mr. Jamieson: [holding answer 13 November 2001]: This is an operational matter for London Underground (LU). For the answers to (a) and (b), I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Westbury (Dr. Murrison) on 18 July 2001, Official Report, column 24W.

The PPP contracts incentives the infrastructure companies to minimise the number of failures from points, signal, trains and other assets. The companies will be paid more for better performance and be penalised for causing delays. The penalties relate to how many passengers are affected by any delay, and there is no ceiling on the level of the penalties. This level of penalty will provide very strong incentives to improve the reliability of the infrastructure.
