Future Of Coastway Rail Service
EDM number 1096 in 1992-93, proposed by John Denham on 15/12/1992.
That this House notes with concern the reported comments of Sir James Sherwood, President of Sea Containers, that the Coastway BR service between Eastbourne and Southampton 'cannot be justified commercially'; notes also that Sea Containers has expressed interest in bidding for BR routes in the South East; believes that these comments indicate that privatisation will lead to drastic reduction of rail services in the South East; and calls on the Government to drop proposals for rail privatisation and to ensure that routes such as Coastway receive the investment and support required to achieve a high level of public transport service.
This motion has been signed by a total of 70 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
