Proceeding contribution from Paul Clark (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 February 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sustainable Railways.
Sustainable Railways
We have said how easy it will be to get to London; equally, it will be quicker to reach Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield or wherever. I recognise what has been said about the links between the cities; that is why we have the 14 strategic corridors. I will write to my hon. Friend the Member for Manchester, Blackley (Graham Stringer) about Manchester Victoria and the Salford stations. I am delighted that my hon. Friend the Member for Stroud (Mr. Drew) has welcomed the development of the Swindon and Kemble line. The subject of ticket offices was raised by the hon. Member for Wimbledon. He will be aware of the ticketing settlement agreement, which takes account of a number of factors.
