The comments made by James Wild, the Conservative MP for North West Norfolk, on 17 July 2026.
King’s Lynn commuters are being let down day after day by unacceptable cancellations and delays on the Fen Line.
I’ve been contacted by countless constituents sharing their frustration – missing work, appointments and time with family because they simply can’t rely on what should be a dependable service.
This is simply not good enough.
Now Great Northern is in public ownership, ministers control both the track and the trains – so they are directly accountable for putting this right.
That’s why I pressed the Transport Secretary to intervene and demand a robust action plan, and I’m glad she acknowledged the concerns and agreed to look into what’s going wrong. I look forward to her response.
Passengers deserve better and I’ll keep pushing for action to get this sorted.
