Motion Text

That this House condemns Northern Rail for not running a train service in June 2018 on the Lakes Lines, between Oxenholme and Windermere; praises West Coast Railways for its work in putting a shuttle service on the line for the last two weeks, while Northern refused to run trains; and welcomes the popularity of the service, the care given to passengers by West Coast Railways and the recent passengers survey, which found that passengers have really enjoyed the service.
