Proceeding contribution from James Gray (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Intercity Express and Rail Electrification.


Intercity Express and Rail Electrification

I warmly welcome the Secretary of State's announcement this afternoon. Will he confirm my memory that Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Great Western main line runs from Swindon, through Chippenham and Bath, to Bristol Temple Meads, not on the branch line from Bristol Parkway and onwards to Wales? Does he intend to allow the electrification of the line to Bristol Temple Meads, as well as the branch line to Wales?
