Labour — Manchester Withington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 June 2026

Debate

Passenger Rail Services

Contribution

What progress can we expect on improving journey times and reliability and reducing cancellations, and what more investment can we expect to improve facilities for passengers across the north?
