Railways in Parliament

摘要

Lord Greaves asked the Government in the House of Lords for the estimate of the number of additional rail carriages required to prevent routine overcrowding on Northern Rail and Transpen-nine Express services; and how many additional carriages are being provided to those operators for that purpose.rnSaid Earl Attlee: "The Government are assessing their policy for managing crowding on the rail network in the light of overall spending constraints over the next few years.rn"Proposals by the previous Administration for the purchase of additional carriages will be appraised and assessed for affordability, in parallel with the process for determining the Department for Transport's budgets for the spending review period."
