PRESS RELEASE : Train cancellations – Kick in the teeth for commuters [December 2022]

The press release issued by the Liberal Democrats on 19 December 2022.

Commenting on this morning’s ral chaos which has seen services across London and commuter belt cancelled despite there not being a train strike, Liberal Democrat MP Munira Wilson said: 

“This is a kick in the teeth for commuters and our struggling hospitality industry.

“Most people can’t remember the last commute they did when the trains actually ran properly. Chaos, delays and misery are part of the daily struggle for those wanting to get into the capital, all despite paying for season tickets worth thousands of pounds a year.

“The Government needs to end this madness now. Ministers have been sitting on their hands for far too long whilst commuters suffer. It’s like they just don’t care about millions of people who simply want to get into the office or keep their business afloat.”
