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 am most grateful for my hon. Friend's observations. Clearly, the train operating companies, which are ultimately responsible for paying for the trains, will want to use them to the maximum advantage. That will not only mean shorter journey times, but should allow more frequent services to destinations such as Edinburgh and others along that route.
