Arriva Cross Country Catering Services

EDM number 1787 in 2007-08, proposed by John McDonnell on 13/06/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Railways.

That this House condemns the decision of Arriva Cross Country to use the refurbishment of its train fleet to remove on-board train buffet car and shop facilities; notes that this follows Arriva Cross Country's decision to cut catering facilities altogether on train services from Plymouth to Cornwall, a two hour journey, and north of Edinburgh to Dundee and Aberdeen, a two and a half hour journey, and on all its train services after 8 p.m.; also expresses deep concern that the company is using the refurbishment process to undermine the role of the guard in relation to operational safety; believes that these cuts are a completely unacceptable attack on train services provided to passengers when the company is making significant profits of £7.5 million on the back of the public subsidy; and therefore calls on Arriva to reverse these planned cuts as a matter of urgency.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
