Future of rail freight
This House notes with concern that the future of rail freight in Great Britain is uncertain; welcomes ASLEF’s Rail Freight Future and Dignity for Drivers campaigns; recognises the importance of Great British Railways in supporting and growing rail freight and providing a strategic direction to the rail freight sector; further notes the existence of publicly-owned rail freight and the opportunity for expansion; and calls on the Government to invest in the infrastructure needed to create capacity for rail freight, level the playing field between road and rail freight, protect freight paths and access on the GBR network, improve facilities for train drivers, and strengthen rail freight growth targets.
