Regional Eurostar Review

EDM number 1997 in 2007-08, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 09/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Railways and Western Europe.

That this House calls on the Government to review its abandonment of direct regional Eurostar services to Paris; asks the Government to recognise that all the advantages of the original proposals remain in terms of a large now proven regional market available and existing and contracted paths designed for it; urges the Government to exploit the investment already made on regional Eurostar services; notes that much of the costs of the service have been incurred already; considers that rail travel is environmentally more beneficial than air or coach travel; and calls on the Government to recognise that now is the time to solidify Britain's transport links with Europe.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
