We discussed the economic benefits of the proposal, as well as the current capacity challenges on the West Coast Mainline. The Minister agreed with our case for cross-border connectivity and links to London.View post ↗
I led a group of cross-party MPs from across our region to meet with Lord Hendy, the Rail Minister, at the Department for Transport to discuss the Wrexham, Shropshire and Midlands Railway (WSMR) open access bid.View post ↗
