FIRST GREAT WESTERN RAIL SERVICE PROVISION

Early day motion 1738, tabled 2 March 2006 by Colin Breed (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 12 members.

That this House condemns the series of cuts proposed in First Great Western's new draft rail timetable across Devon and Cornwall; notes with particular concern the cutbacks in the much-required and increasingly popular commuter services which contribute significantly to the reduction of road congestion across the region and improvement of air quality in towns and cities; and calls upon the Department for Transport and First Great Western to rethink their proposals and to restore the commuter services on both branch and main lines in the two counties.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 10, Labour 2.
