CLACTON’S MP is calling on the Government to plough more finances into improving train travel for the sake of commuters and local economies.
Giles Watling is urging Downing Street bosses to invest more money into producing a faster and more reliable service on the Great Eastern Main Line.
Trains operating on the hefty line currently run from London Liverpool Street all the way through the likes of Essex, Suffolk, and Norwich.
Mr Watling, chairman of the Great Eastern Main Line Taskforce, believes investment would help the region realise the customer and economic benefits of its new trains.
He has now presented MP Chris Heaton-Harris, Minister of State for Transport, with a ‘case for investment’ highlighting what improvements he believes need to be made.
