The motion
That this House expresses concern that Great Western Railway has cancelled over 18,000 train services so far this year, placing it 16th out of 24 UK operators for reliability; recognises the impact this has had on passengers and communities across the South of England, including in West Berkshire, where early morning commuter services have been repeatedly withdrawn, prompting local intervention to secure a trial replacement; acknowledges the need for joined-up oversight of rail operations and fare reform to ensure passengers receive a dependable and affordable service; and calls on the Government to take urgent action to improve reliability, hold operators to account for poor performance, and deliver a modern rail network that better serves the public.
