Great Western Railway Routes

Proceeding contribution from James Gray (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 February 2016. It occurred during Backbench debate on Great Western Railway Routes.

My hon. Friend is being very generous. Box tunnel is, of course, in my constituency. He will know that the only time one can see from one end of the tunnel to the other is once a year on Brunel’s birthday. [Interruption.] The Minister says that it is not true, but we believe it is true—I have seen it myself. More importantly, we think that we are close to reopening an important station at Corsham, which is at one end of Box tunnel. I hope my hon. Friend will agree that opening such stations along the route is extremely important.
