Last week in Parliament, Richard had another opportunity to talk to GTR and Network Rail as he met with Jenny Saunders, Customer Services Director for Thameslink and Great Northern and Lucy McAuliffe, Route Director for Network Rail.
Richard Fuller MP said:
At the parliamentary drop-in for MPs arranged by GTR and Network Rail, I continued to press the case for improvements to the “frailty” of the Sandy - Biggleswade- Arlesey service including adding more reserve drivers at Peterborough to cover for staff shortages.
We discussed implications in Bedford station for the London service should East West Rail get the go ahead. There will have to be six tracks - heaven knows why some local politicians were pretending it could be four lines (!) - and some real problems in finding space for trains needed to maintain the reliability and frequency of the London service. We need answers from East West Rail.
