Woodhead Tunnel (EDM459)

Woodhead Tunnel

EDM number 459 in 2007-08, proposed by Graham Stringer on 04/12/2007.
Categorised under the topic of Railways.

That this House believes that, at a time when the Government Rail White Paper endorses the strategic freight network and forecasts rail usage doubling over 30 years, National Grid's proposal to embark upon a cabling project through the Woodhead Tunnel between Manchester and Sheffield would mean an irrevocable loss of rail capacity; and therefore calls upon the Government to investigate and intervene on this issue as a matter of urgency to prevent this strategic rail route being lost forever.

This motion has been signed by a total of 84 MPs.
