Mark Harper’s rail speech ‘encouraging’

7 February 2023

Responding to Mark Harper’s George Bradshaw address this evening, Norman Baker from Campaign for Better Transport said:

“This was a very encouraging speech from the Transport Secretary. It’s particularly encouraging to see a way forward for growing passenger and freight business, as opposed to making cuts to save money.

“The challenge now is for the Transport Secretary and Rail Minister to make this happen.”
