Under-fire TransPennine Express should be stripped of its contract now, says top Labour MP
Leaving Doncaster Works in South Yorkshire in February 1923 and entering service exactly 100 years ago today , Flying Scotsman is synonymous with the golden age of rail travel and renowned as a feat of design and engineering.
What to do about TransPennine Express , the under-fire rail operator that runs trains from Huddersfield to Manchester, Leeds, York and the North East, was one of the big topics for political and business leaders at the Northern Transport Summit yesterday in Liverpool. The Sheffield MP tells this week's episode of The Northern Agenda podcast: "I would say the only people to blame for that are the management of TransPennine Express and we've just run out of road really, we've had enough of their behavior and their poor management.
He called for the union Aslef to accept the Government's offer to restore rest day working on TPE, which expired a few months ago and wasn't renewed, so drivers can be trained up to ensure in the short term fewer trains are cancelled. The questioner, whose organisation is responsible for the under-performing inter-city services between London and the North West, asked members of one conference panel how we "get better at rebuilding public confidence and trust in transport".
