Proceeding contribution from Andrew Pelling (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on South Central Rail Franchise.


South Central Rail Franchise

I hope that it does not take the right hon. Gentleman by surprise that someone else is present supporting his concerns. I am at the other end of the line in Croydon. The development of Gatwick is important to the development of the economy in south London. With a limited service to Tonbridge from East Croydon, many residents have to travel to London to get down to Kent. Does he agree that that must emphasise the importance of taking the best advantage of those rail facilities that exist between Redhill and Tonbridge?
