Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Renton (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 11 July 2006.
Railways: High-speed Train Services
- Question
- My Lords, although it is unsafe for trains to run fast on certain small branch lines, is it not the right policy to permit speed on the rail?
- Answer
-
My Lords, obviously itis in the interests of the operating companies to transport passengers as rapidly as they can, consistent with safety. That is why new trains and new rolling stock have quicker pick-up times between stations in localised travel.
