Transport 2000 EDM 1214 on the ‘Growing the Railways Campaign’Whitehead, Alan MP That this House welcomes the increasing demand for rail travel but is concerned that no plans currently exist to increase capacity on the railways and alleviate congestion on parts of the rail network which are already congested; and, therefore, supports Transport 2000's Growing the Railways campaign, as endorsed by 21 organisations, which calls on the Government to draw up a clear investment planning framework for rail, through the High Level Output Statement, which ensures that money spent is used more efficiently, promotes partnership working, appraising rail projects fairly, and, above all, plans for an expanding railway for passengers and freight. Please ask your MP to sign it if they have not already done so. |
