New government, same excuses
Before the general election, the shadow minister for rail - Theresa Villiers, promised her support for getting our fast service back to London. In a response to a letter from us to her asking what she was now going to do for us now she had been elected, the same old story that was trotted out by the previous government was used i.e. that the people of Nuneaton do not deserve a decent rail service, while services in the south of the county get better and better. Representatives from the group are now looking to set up a meeting with the new MP - Marcus Jones.
One tiny crumb of comfort is that Theresa Villiers said there is the possibility of the 1610 stopping at Nuneaton, but after so many broken promises, we will not hold our breath. We ask all Nuneaton rail users to contact both Theresa and Marcus to complain about the way we are being treated.
