Proceeding contribution from Stephen Hammond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on First Capital Connect.


First Capital Connect

The Minister is admitting to everybody that he accepts that the Government are prepared to let franchises without full coverage of driver services. I was somewhat surprised when he confirmed to me that the majority of train operating companies rely on rest days and overtime working to deliver not exceptional services but normal services.
