Debate

Rail Renationalisation: East of England

Contribution

On behalf of the Government, may I associate myself with your remarks about David Winnick and extend our condolences to his family? Bringing Greater Anglia and other east of England train operators into public ownership will put passengers first. Since coming into public ownership in 2025, both Greater Anglia and c2c are delivering some of the lowest cancellation rates in the country, while new stations and upgrades across the region are improving reliability and accessibility as we move towards an integrated, passenger-focused rail network.
