CROSS COUNTRY RAIL SERVICES

Motion Text

That this House notes with dismay the ending of the Cross Country rail service which will remove direct trains to the South Coast from the North West and Scotland and necessitate passengers changing trains, potentially damaging links between the regions; further notes with concern that this will discourage people from using the rail network which will have a detrimental impact on the environment; and urges the Government to look into reinstating those services from the North West and Scotland to the South Coast.
