First Great Western Timetable Changes (EDM526)

First Great Western Timetable Changes

EDM number 526 in 2006-07, proposed by Edward Vaizey on 18/12/2006.

That this House notes the travel chaos caused by the new timetable introduced by First Great Western on 10th December 2006; condemns the resulting overcrowding caused by the reduction in services and the use of the smaller capacity Adelante trains instead of the usual high speed trains; further notes that this reduction in service comes at a time when fare rises have again risen far above the rate of inflation; and calls upon First Great Western and the Department for Transport to take urgent steps to reintroduce sufficient capacity as soon as possible into the network to enable as many commuters as possible to travel safely on regular, reliable services.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
