Proceeding contribution from Lilian Greenwood (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rail Investment.
Rail Investment
The Minister knows that I am delighted with the extensions to our tram network, but unfortunately we cannot travel to London on it. Electrification of the midland main line would make it possible to reduce the travel time from Nottingham to London to an hour and a half. The Minister acknowledged that the economic case for electrification is strong—I would say ““overwhelming””. Can he assure me that the Government have a strategy to achieve ““Nottingham in 90””, pending the development of High Speed 2?
