Proceeding contribution from Louise Ellman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rail Investment.
Rail Investment
I welcome the news of investment in rail, although I am concerned about the three-year delay in the electrification of the Liverpool-Manchester-Blackpool line as well as the uncertainties on electrification of the great western line. Will the Secretary of State explain the percentage growth in rail that he is planning within these figures so that rail can grow without overcrowding and without the overpricing that drives people off the railways?
