Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Kent Coast Railway Line.


Kent Coast Railway Line

I congratulate the hon. Member for North Thanet (Mr. Gale) on securing this important debate. I shall start by giving a few more facts—we have heard lots of facts today—and picking up the subject of fares, which was where the hon. Member for Faversham and Mid-Kent (Hugh Robertson) finished. Fares are clearly very pertinent to the debate. We have heard what the additional cost of the fares on the high-speed line allegedly is—I heard the figure of £13 mentioned, although my information suggests it is £8 more.
