Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Joe Morris and Louise Haigh

Thursday 21st November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Joe Morris (Hexham) (Lab)]

T8. I am regularly contacted by constituents of mine who are concerned about delays and cancellations on the Tyne Valley line, which is so fundamental to my constituency. Will the Secretary of State meet me to discuss delays and improvements to that line?

[Louise Haigh]

My hon. Friend is right that Northern rail services on that line are very poor. That is exactly what we are addressing through continued negotiation on rest-day working agreements. My noble Friend the Rail Minister will be happy to meet him.
