Proceeding contribution from Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 5 December 2022. It occurred during Question for short debate on Great British Railways and Rail Services in the North.

Great British Railways and Rail Services in the North

Yes, absolutely. The Manchester taskforce that I referred to consists of the Department for Transport, the train operating companies, Network Rail, Transport for the North and Transport for Greater Manchester. As you can see, it is a mixture between the Government, local government, train operating companies and Network Rail. There is congestion in the Manchester area, and we would obviously hope to reinstate those services as we can, but clearly some prioritisation had to be made.
