The Transport Secretary, Chris Grayling MP, has written to me and other South West MPs regarding the GWR rail franchise. The Government want to ensure that there are more seats, more trains, and faster and more frequent services throughout the South West, and in London.
Because passengers have to be at the heart of the new plans for GWR and the South West, the Department of Transport has launched a consultation on what passeges want, and how rail services can be improved.
