Louise Haigh reacts to the Trans Pennine Express ‘do not travel’ order

Louise Haigh MP, Labour’s Shadow Transport Secretary, commenting on Trans Pennine Express issuing a ‘do not travel’ order, said:

“This fiasco is causing untold damage and ministers are missing in action.

“After 12 years, the Conservatives have left the north with crumbling infrastructure and failing operators.

“Enough is enough, passengers have been taken for a ride for too long.

“It’s time for ministers to finally hold operators to account for appalling performance, and a failure to recruit and invest in the long-term future.”
