Labour — Swindon South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 December 2025

Debate

Railways Bill

Contribution

I will make some progress. For too long, the priorities of passengers and the industry have not been one and the same, and that has to change now. Alongside GBR, we will create the passenger watchdog—a strong, independent voice for the customer. It will set tough standards, independently monitor the experience of passengers, investigate persistent issues, and relentlessly push for a more accessible railway.
