Proceeding contribution from Ronnie Campbell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 January 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Ashington, Blyth and Tyne Railway.


Ashington, Blyth and Tyne Railway

I congratulate my hon. Friend on bringing this debate forward, because the line runs straight through my constituency as well. It has been said that charging will be introduced on the roads, but as he has pointed out, the only thing that we have in south-east Northumberland is bad bus routes. We do not have a rail link. Therefore, we in south-east Northumberland are going to be penalised twice, as a lot of people use their cars because the public transport is not there. Would my hon. Friend not agree with me on that one?
