Proceeding contribution from John Pugh (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on New Trains (Investment).


New Trains (Investment)

In the Transport Committee strategy report, it states:"““We note how little new rolling stock is going to be available to areas outside London and the south-east””." Frankly, what is being done about the old, unsafe 142s that shunt between Southport and Manchester on the Northern rail franchise, which are acknowledged to be the very oldest on the entire network?
