Train Services (Maidenhead and Twyford)

Overcrowding is crucial in individual passengers’ experience of rail services. Does the Minister stand by the comments of Dr. Mike Mitchell to a Committee of the House? He said that people should expect to have to stand on trains for half an hour and that"““there are alternatives…if one travels off-peak””." People who are going to work cannot travel off-peak. Furthermore, after spending several thousand pounds on a season ticket, they do not expect to have to travel crammed against other people day in, day out.
