Oral Answers to Questions

Manuela Perteghella Excerpts

Thursday 10th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Manuela Perteghella (Stratford-on-Avon) (LD)]

The town of Stratford-upon-Avon is one of the most visited locations in the UK, yet for many years we have not had a direct train to the capital. What steps is the Secretary of State taking to fix the lack of capacity in Chiltern Railways so that my constituents and visitors can travel directly and sustainably to and from London?

[Louise Haigh]

That sort of service and provision is exactly what the reforms around Great British Railways are designed to address. Decisions around infrastructure and operations will be made together so that we can deliver services that make sense for the hon. Lady’s constituents, for visitors and for the economy as a whole.
