Proceeding contribution from Karl McCartney (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

This might not be quite as headline-grabbing as my right hon. Friend's statement today, but he will be aware that, on 22 May this year, my constituents will see the reintroduction of a direct link to London. However, this will be only a single daily service—once up and down. Does he think that the old diesel stock whose replacement he has announced today could be put to good use in increasing the level of service to and from my constituency?
