Proceeding contribution from Duncan Hames (Liberal Democrat) 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 welcome the Secretary of State's clarification that electrification to Bristol will also take in the line through Bath and Chippenham. Can he confirm my estimation that this proposal might even bring down journey times from London Paddington to Chippenham to less than one hour?
