Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on New Trains (Investment).
New Trains (Investment)
Faster trains between London and Leeds are clearly welcome, but the biggest problem experienced by my constituents is getting to and from Leeds on horribly overcrowded trains on the Airedale and Wharfedale lines. Can the Secretary of State tell me when extra carriages will be available on those two lines in particular, and also, crucially, how much money will be allocated to providing the longer platforms that will be required to take them?
