Written Question
Railways: Cumbria

Asked by: Trudy Harrison (Conservative - Copeland)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will assess the potential effect on passengers of the RMT Union's Saturday strikes on the Cumbrian Coast Line service.

Answered by Andrew Jones

I share the frustrations of passengers on Northern whose journeys have been repeatedly disrupted by the actions of the RMT. This dispute is not about safety – the independent rail regulator has said driver controlled doors on trains are safe.
