First Great Western Rail Service Provision

EDM number 1738 in 2005-06, proposed by Colin Breed on 02/03/2006.

That this House condemns the series of cuts proposed in First Great Western's new draft rail timetable across Devon and Cornwall; notes with particular concern the cutbacks in the much-required and increasingly popular commuter services which contribute significantly to the reduction of road congestion across the region and improvement of air quality in towns and cities; and calls upon the Department for Transport and First Great Western to rethink their proposals and to restore the commuter services on both branch and main lines in the two counties.

This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
