Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Transport (Wales) Bill.
Transport (Wales) Bill
I am grateful for the hon. Gentleman’s constructive advice. I shall certainly look at that model, but I am probably not yet as up to speed on the integrated transport system in Northern Ireland as he is. There has been major investment in the valley lines, leading to the restoration of rail services in some areas for the first time since the Beeching cuts of 40 years ago. For example, the vale of Glamorgan line has been reopened to passenger services and work is in hand to commence passenger services on the Ebbw Vale line in 2006–07.
