The motion
That this House notes with concern that passenger numbers on the Rose Hill Marple to Manchester Piccadilly railway line remain around half of pre-pandemic levels; further notes that the service has been left with an infrequent timetable with uneven gaps which is unsuitable for commuters, such as students at Marple Hall School; notes that the final service from Manchester Piccadilly is at 9.21pm, meaning that the service cannot be used by those enjoying a night out in the city centre, and that there is no Sunday service on the line; and calls on the Government to work with Northern and Transport for Greater Manchester to ensure that the line returns to two services per hour in each direction and extend services to later in the evening and on Sundays.
