Proceeding contribution from Louise Ellman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rail Reform.


Rail Reform

I welcome the Secretary of State's willingness to look at the rail sector overall, but how much funding do the Government intend to remove from supporting the rail service? Will she explain exactly how the spiralling cost of rail fares will be addressed, overcrowding will be reduced and extra capacity can be produced where it is required, such as across the north?
