Proceeding contribution from Martin Linton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sustainable Railways.

Sustainable Railways

I represent the inner-London commuters who get on the trains when the carriages are already full and the seats already taken, so I warmly welcome the 1,300 extra carriages and the 100,000 extra seats. If my right hon. Friend wants to do even more to ease congestion in central London, will she also ensure that Transport for London is funded to proceed with the routes that avoid the centre of London, such as London Overground and the East London line phase 2, which will connect Clapham Junction to the tube system?
