National Audit Office Report Letting Rail Franchises 2005 To 2007

EDM number 64 in 2008-09, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 03/12/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Railways.

That this House welcomes the National Audit Office report, Letting Rail Franchises 2005 to 2007; notes with concern that the problems of overcrowding and increasing peak fares are likely to be exacerbated in the future through higher passenger demand; calls on the Government to increase its commitment of 1,300 new carriages for the rail network to ensure that demand for rolling stock is met across the United Kingdom; further calls on the Government to improve its commitment to public transport by seriously considering re-opening dormant lines and stations; and further calls on the Government to ensure that regulated fares do not increase at a rate above the Retail Prices Index.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
