I want to see improved rail services on the South Fylde Line. A passing loop would allow two trains to run per hour. It would increase reliability, punctuality, and more seating for passengers.
I am deeply concerned by the flooding issues seen across Fylde in the past 24 hours. It has been frankly shocking to see the damage to homes and the danger it has posed for residents. My thoughts are with the affected communities across rural Fylde.
Living in a low lying, coastal community the risks posed by flooding are only too clear. In recent years we have seen significant investment in our sea defences. protecting thousands of homes and businesses in Lytham and Ansdell.
I have campaigned for improvements to the South Fylde line, serving Kirkham, Lytham, St Annes and through to Blackpool South ever since I was elected. We now have a successful Restoring Your Railway bid to double rail services on the line through the installation of a passing loop.
