Proceeding contribution from Chris Mole (Labour) 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 am trying to understand how the hon. Gentleman justifies the assertion that fares across Kent have risen in order to support the high-speed link. I thought that it was generally understood by most people that the RPI plus 3 was to fund replacement of the slam-door stock, to which my hon. Friend the Member for Dover (Gwyn Prosser) referred, with the new trains on the Southeastern franchise.
