VIRGIN TRAINS

Early day motion 1181, tabled 12 May 2003 by Albert Owen (Labour). Signed by 20 members.

That this House notes Virgin Trains' claim that 131 new trains will be 'rolling out over our network'; demands to know why the London to North Wales lines is excluded from this programme; further notes that the trains on the line, far from being sexy and sleek, are old and dirty; and calls upon Virgin Trains to build upon the excellent service provided by its staff and invest more money in better trains and less money in advertising.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Plaid Cymru 2, Liberal Democrat 1.
