Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 December 2025

Debate

Network Rail Timetable Changes: Rural Communities

Contribution

I absolutely support my hon. Friend’s calls for those services. Cornwall is unique and its geography calls for tailored solutions. I thank the Government for their support of my calls for those tailored solutions. Will the Minister look closely at how replacement services in rural and coastal constituencies are designed, and look to co-ordinate timetables around the needs of communities such as South East Cornwall? The alternative travel options available need to reflect our lived experience of a lack of other alternatives. I would like to work further with the Department and with Network Rail to share that local evidence and support that improvement.
