Passenger Services, Safety And Industrial Relations On The First Great Western Line

EDM number 798 in 2014-15, proposed by Geraint Davies on 12/02/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Industrial health and safety, Industrial relations and Railways.

That this House notes that despite record planned Government investment in rail, the South and West franchise holder, First Great Western (FGW), appears to be taking a backward approach to passenger services, safety and employee relations as new rolling stock will not include buffet cars, future staffing levels on trains will be reduced and the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) rail union has been told that it will no longer represent managerial grades along that route; believes that this will reduce passenger safety and service as well as good industrial relations; and calls on FGW to undertake urgent discussions with the TSSA, other unions and stakeholders, to ensure that the introduction of any new trains will not mean a worsening of conditions for both passengers and staff.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
