VIRGIN TRAINS DISRUPTION IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND

Motion Text

That this House deplores the unacceptable disruption of Virgin rail services between London Euston and Liverpool and Manchester on 15th May 2008, when all train services from London to Liverpool and Manchester were cancelled; believes that faults in the signalling system have been occurring all too often since privatisation; sympathises with rail passengers, including those on business having to cancel important appointments; and looks forward to the trains running on time under public ownership.
