First Great Western Rail Services

EDM number 546 in 2007-08, proposed by David Drew on 11/12/2007.
Categorised under the topic of Railways.

That this House notes with continuing concern the performance of First Great Western rail services; is alarmed that the new December 2007 timetable will see the replacement of exisiting rolling stock with inferior rolling stock which could result in slower, less comfortable and more crowded conditions for passengers; and calls on the Government to intervene urgently to protect the interests of passengers and to conduct an urgent and public review to determine whether the interests of passengers would be better served by bringing the franchise back into public ownership.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
