Tory Vow To Tackle Crowded Trains
« on: April 16, 2007, 06:39:12 PM »

Tackling overcrowding on commuter trains will be an "urgent priority" for a Tory government as part of its focus on green issues , said David Cameron (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6558951.stm

The Tory leader said more cash was needed to boost capacity on the busiest routes , although it would have to come from existing transport budgets.

Key quotes :

"The government is due to receive significant extra funds after the recent franchise auctions - mostly paid for by passengers through the fares they pay."

"We think it is an urgent priority for that money to be spent on tackling overcrowding."
