Proceeding contribution from Mark Prisk (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on New Trains (Investment).
New Trains (Investment)
Having campaigned for them, I welcome the confirmation of the 120 new carriages on the West Anglia route. May I press the Secretary of State on two important delivery details? First, on rolling stock, when will the new carriages enter service? Secondly, a year ago—or possibly more—we were promised longer platforms and more track on that vital route. There have been a lot of delays and uncertainties about that. Will the Secretary of State confirm that the Government still hold that commitment, and tell us when the work will begin on the track?
