Railways BillContribution
If we made some of those arguments, or made them more prominent, it would enable the Government—whoever the Government of the day were—to make the case for investment in rail freight as opposed to just in passenger services, so I think reminding everybody why they should care is part of the Minister’s job. I would also be interested to know what the department is doing to reinforce the value to the wider public and the economy of rail freight in general.
