Members may have picked up that I have long been an advocate for improving rail infrastructure in my Paisley and Renfrewshire North constituency, which houses an important strategic connection in Glasgow airport. I hope that the establishment of Great British Railways will help with a local goal. It is a source of considerable frustration for my constituents that they can take a train to Manchester airport but not to Glasgow airport, which lies just over a mile from Paisley Gilmour Street station. There is a very strong case for a rail link within my constituency, and I look forward to making that case in the context of the more strategic approach to railways that the Government’s amendments seek to deliver.
