Proceeding contribution from John Pugh (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 February 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sustainable Railways.


Sustainable Railways

Several hon. Members have talked throughout the debate about the railway model that we have, with the rolling stock companies, the train operating companies, Network Rail and so on, and that we need to make sure that the subsidy is greater than it needs to be—even given the level of investment. The hon. Gentleman just mentioned the west coast main line, but half of the problem was the fact that we had Railtrack.
