Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Transport (Wales) Bill.


Transport (Wales) Bill

The Secretary of State will know that one of the problems in the south Wales valleys, where many people’s journeys to work are complicated, is that much of the public transport simply goes down the valley to Cardiff. The integration of public transport systems is vital if we are to reduce economic inactivity in the south Wales valleys. One difficulty is that some public transport services continue to use old rolling stock. Does my right hon. Friend anticipate a significant improvement in the rolling stock on the valley lines?
