HC Deb 28 November 2000 vol 357 c542W
15. Mr. Efford

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement regarding train cancellations due to rail track repairs on Connex South Eastern. [138951]

Mr. Hill

The rail network has been severely disrupted by the temporary emergency speed restrictions imposed by Railtrack for safety reasons in the aftermath of the tragic accident at Hatfield. Connex South Eastern have planned a series of cancellations to their normal timetable which passengers have been informed about in advance to enable them to plan their journeys.
