Topical Questions
- Question
- As a south London MP, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will know what a success Croydon tramlink has been. The Mayor of London and Croydon council have recently worked together to buy additional trams to increase the frequency of the service. Will she work with the Mayor in the medium term to extend the benefits of the system to other parts of south London?
- Answer
-
We believe that there is a good future for trams and light rail in this country, and I hope that my hon. Friend has seen the recent publication ““Green Light for Light Rail””. We are happy to work with the Mayor and elected bodies up and down the country to try to progress light rail, because it has a good future and is very useful for passengers.
