Proceeding contribution from Ruth Kelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sustainable Railways.
Sustainable Railways
I can give the hon. Gentleman that assurance. There will be no rural line closures in the next seven years. Beyond that, of course, there needs to be flexibility in place, so that we can make sure that rural lines can respond to passenger demand. We are also providing new rolling stock to increase capacity on rural lines, where that is needed.
