Rail Services (Northampton)

Volume 467: debated on Monday 19 November 2007

I present this petition on behalf of my constituents and those of the hon. Member for Northampton, South (Mr. Binley). It is about the train timetable changes in Northampton, which result in our losing our most important train of the day—the 7.12 am fast train bringing commuters to London.

The petition states:

The Petition of residents of Northampton and people who use the local rail services,

Declares that there is serious concern about the proposal in the draft 2008 timetable to end the 7.12 fast train to London which is the main train service used by commuters who work in London.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Secretary of State for Transport to reinstate the fast train service from Northampton to London at 7.12 am.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.
