Railways Bill: Third Reading

Passed278 ayes · 149 noes

What the vote was about

The Railways Bill at third reading sets the legislative framework for railway services across England and Wales, covering areas such as franchising, infrastructure investment, and passenger rights. For Cornwall, this matters because of its dependence on the Great Western main line and branch lines for tourism, commuting, and access to services. The outcomes of this bill could affect service levels, investment in rolling stock, and connectivity to London and other regions.
