TransPennine: Another broken Conservative promise

Responding to the news that TransPennine Express will be brought under Government control, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Transport in the Lords, Baroness Randerson said:

"The Government have been forced to take over another rail company. Passengers are angry that services are being cancelled and the Conservative's failure to stop industrial action is making things worse.

"Years ago the Conservatives promised to fix railway services, promising that the new "Great British Railways" would take control and stop disruption. But we still haven't seen it.

"Liberal Democrats are calling for urgent reform of our railways so they can start delivering for passengers once again."
