High hopes for Deal as MP meets Miinister
Comments |
Hopes are running high in the campaign to improve train
services from Deal after a meeting in Westminster.
Dover MP Gwyn Prosser and Trains4Deal
group member Ian Killbery met Rail Minister Chris Mole for
discussions – and the outcome looks good.
Mr Prosser said: "Ian and I came away
from the meeting with a clear impression that the Minister wanted
Deal to have its high-speed trains.
"This is as long as there is
sufficient evidence of demand and provided Southeastern can carry
out the necessary line and platform enhancements within a
reasonable cost."
Mr Prosser described the meeting as
"very positive" and said the minister was well briefed about the
campaign.
He added: "We tabled a well- argued
set of proposals which would provide high-speed train stops at Deal
and provide better domestic services to London.
