Hull misses out over rail investment says MP

Faster and more efficient rail links are an important part of Hull's economic regeneration and I'll be asking why this Government doesn't appear to recognise this.

Instead this Coalition Government is being short-sighted, yet again, about Hull and are failing to grasp an opportunity for supporting business regeneration in the Humber. Hull taxpayers and rail passengers will bear the costs of the improvements that will happen elsewhere in the country from 2014, without seeing electrification to upgrade our local lines.
