Cuts In Northern Rail Services

EDM number 962 in 2003-04, proposed by Frank Cook on 31/03/2004.

That this House is concerned that the Strategic Rail Authority has decided to scrap the direct Leeds-Carlisle-Glasgow rail service; notes the recent reductions in train services between Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and Hartlepool as well as reports of potential reductions in direct services between Newcastle and Saltburn (via Darlington); further expresses its concern about the potential long-term loss of rail workers' jobs in Newcastle upon Tyne, Middlesbrough, Darlington and Hartlepool that these service reductions are likely to bring about; and therefore calls for the maintenance of these services for the benefit of the public, environment and the economy of the North of England.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs.
