Robert Questions Transport Secretary on Cotswold Line Progress

Robert has helped to deliver significant improvements to local rail services in West Oxfordshire in recent years, with additional car parking provision, platform extensions, upgraded facilities, world-class new trains - and a staff presence at Hanborough Station for the first time in over 50 years. There's even more to look forward to, with a new timetable coming soon that will deliver more frequent services on the Cotswold Line.

Robert recently pressed the Transport Secretary on the campaign he - and the Cotswold Line Promotion Group - are waging to deliver further redoubling of the Cotswold Line, which will significantly improve the frequency and reliability of services.

Speaking afterwards, Robert said: "I'm determined to build on the superb progress we have made and deliver further rail improvements for passengers."
