Proceeding contribution from Iain Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 January 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Northern Rail Hub.
Northern Rail Hub
My hon. Friend touches on an important point, because if we are serious about wanting to achieve a modal shift from car to rail, we have to look at the whole journey time. If I visit him, I can get quickly from Milton Keynes to Manchester by train, but it takes as long again to get from Manchester to Leeds, so it is actually quicker for me to drive up. If we want to achieve that modal shift, we have to look at the whole journey time.
