Proceeding contribution from Robert Goodwill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 July 2008. It occurred during Estimates day on Public Transport.
Public Transport
I nominate Grand Central Trains, which is running a new service from Sunderland to London via York. The service offers half-price fares for pensioners and gives a 50 per cent. refund if a person cannot get a seat on the train. That is another interesting idea, which operators in the south-east of England might consider—although it might bankrupt them.
