Government Working on Direct Rail Service from London to Cleethorpes

Martin Vickers (Cleethorpes) (Con)

Problems with the franchising system mean that London North Eastern Railway is now under control of the Minister’s Department. He will be aware of my long-running campaign to get through trains from King’s Cross to Cleethorpes. Can he tell me when that will happen?

 

Chris Heaton-Harris (Rail Minister)

I cannot answer my hon. Friend from the Dispatch Box today, but we are working to deliver the service that he has outlined, certainly at the beginning and end of each day to start with.
