DISCOUNTED RAIL FARES

Early day motion 515, tabled 6 December 2007 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 20 members.

That this House notes with concern the lack of an agreement between Arriva and Virgin West Coast concerning the cost of journeys from the North West and Scotland to the South and South West; further notes that unless an agreement between the two parties is reached passengers could face a significant rise in the cost of cross country rail travel; and urges both parties to work imaginatively and collaboratively on the issue to reach a solution which benefits passengers.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, Liberal Democrat 5, Conservative 1, Independent 1.
