Good for him. I hope it goes well. Whatever you think of our local MP, he does get involved in local issues.

Here's a link to the transcript of the debate. It wasn't so much a debate really as a speech by Mark Prisk and a government response. But, worth getting out there nonetheless. It's a good summary of the problems with local rail services, and reading between the lines so to speak, a masterclass in government responses to MPs where they pledge to do nothing at all.
