That this House condemns the performance of Arriva Northern in Cumbria where over 30 trains were cancelled over the weekend of 14-15 July 2018; notes the impact these cancellations have on the Cumbrian economy and the reputational damage it does to the Lake District; and suggests that there should be a micro-franchise for the Lakes, Furness and Cumbrian Coastal lines so that a rail operator that is actually capable of running trains on a train line can step in.
