Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on New Trains (Investment).
New Trains (Investment)
Will the Secretary of State ask his officials to look again at the delays in reaching a decision on new train services for platform 20 at Waterloo? As was pointed out by my hon. Friend the Member for Richmond Park (Susan Kramer), the platform is ready for domestic commuter trains, but there could be a delay of over a year before it is actually used. Will the Secretary of State also write to me and let me know whether his Department has finally confirmed with South West Trains and Network Rail the investment for the new 10-car commuter trains, including investment in all the related platform-lengthening and infrastructure works that are essential to reducing the chronic overcrowding that is being suffered every day by commuters to Waterloo?
