Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Ken Purchase (Labour), on Tuesday, 21 October 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 20 members in total.
WALSALL TO WOLVERHAMPTON RAIL SERVICE
That this House notes with extreme concern the planned withdrawal of the Walsall to Wolverhampton passenger rail service from December 2008; further notes the service provides an important direct link for the people of Walsall and Wolverhampton, together with access to connecting rail services; is dismayed that the proposed withdrawal will take place despite the fact that use of the service has significantly increased and believes that London Midland are putting profit before people; further believes that the proposed cut clearly goes against the Government's policy of seeking to expand rail capacity and reduce carbon emissions from the transport sector; and calls on the Government to intervene to ensure that this service remains in operation.
