TRAIN SERVICES TO AND FROM LIVERPOOL

Early day motion 1600, tabled 16 July 2003 by Edward O'Hara (Labour). Signed by 17 members.

That this House regrets the recent withdrawal of the direct train service from Liverpool to Edinburgh; notes that this is but the latest in a gradual removal of train services to and from Liverpool; is concerned that, as the nominated European Capital of Culture for 2008, Liverpool requires more, not fewer, transport links of all types with all parts of the country and the world; and calls upon the Government in conjunction with the relevant train operators to arrest this erosion of train services to and from Liverpool.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Labour/Co-operative 2, Liberal Democrat 2, DUP 1.
