Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jim Cousins (Labour), on Thursday, 30 November 2006, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 32 members in total.
GNER
That this House notes that the Department of Transport has decided to re-let the East Coast Mainline franchise and place the operator GNER on a fixed management contract; further notes that the Transport Select Committee press release accompanying its recent Passenger Rail Franchising report described the franchising process as `a complex, fragmented and costly muddle'; believes that GNER services should not be re-let to a private operator; and therefore calls on the Department of Transport to protect services and jobs by returning operations on the East Coast Mainline to the public sector.
