Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Grant Shapps and David Evennett

Thursday 24th October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Grant Shapps]

I certainly will. The project is currently being scoped, and I should be happy to work on it with my hon. Friend and Network Rail.

[Sir David Evennett]

As my right hon. Friend is well aware, in my borough of Bexley we suffer from a very poor rail service operated by Southeastern. We experience regular cancellations—including the cancellation of my train this morning—and persistent short delays. What more can my right hon. Friend do to get our train company to improve punctuality and reliability?

[Hon. Members]

Nationalise!
