Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Hoon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on New Trains (Investment).
New Trains (Investment)
I have consistently made it clear since getting this job that relieving congestion and improving capacity on our network is of paramount importance. Bringing into service the platform at Waterloo is part of that process, and the investment that I announced today is part of a much wider £20 billion investment in new rail capacity.
