Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Lefroy (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on McNulty Report and West Coast Rail.
McNulty Report and West Coast Rail
I welcome the Secretary of State's approach to the west coast main line franchise. As has been said, overcrowding in standard class in particular is a problem on the west coast main line. I pay tribute to the quality and courtesy of the staff I encounter in difficult circumstances. However, first-class carriages are often under-utilised. Can he confirm whether the new franchise will include a duty to take all practical measures to ensure that people do not have to stand on trains that often travel at more than 120 mph?
