Public Transport During The Christmas Holidays (EDM514)

Public Transport During The Christmas Holidays

EDM number 514 in 2006-07, proposed by John Grogan on 18/12/2006.

That this House expresses its deep disappointment that once again during this festive season the UK's railways will undergo a 58 hour shutdown with no services whatsoever being provided on the overwhelming majority of lines and that in most areas there will be no buses running over a similar period; notes that this is in stark contrast to the situation that prevails in the rest of Europe where regular services run throughout the Christmas holidays; further notes that the closure of the rail and bus network leaves many people without access to transport to visit family or friends or attend sporting events; and calls on the Department for Transport, the Passenger Transport Authorities, the Association of Train Operating Companies and the Confederation of Passenger Transport to work together to ensure that from 2007 an adequate rail and bus service is provided on Boxing Day at least.

This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
