BARKING TO GOSPEL OAK LINE ELECTRIFICATION

Early day motion 446, tabled 14 January 2009 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 29 members.

That this House recognises that the Barking to Gospel Oak line is a very valuable part of the rail network; notes that it is the only section of the North London line without electrification; believes that to become an even more effective part of the passenger and freight network it should be electrified; and calls upon the Secretary of State to support this development and to open negotiations with Network Rail and Transport for London to achieve it.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Liberal Democrat 11, DUP 2, Independent 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
