Nick de Bois seeks better deal for rail commuters

Nick met with train operators First Capital Connect this week to seek a better deal for rail users in the constituency.Meeting with a senior director of First Capital Connect, which serves six rail stations in Enfield, Mr. de Bois put forward concerns raised with him by Enfield commuters. In particular, Nick lobbied for increased frequency of services at peak times and more carriages for the Great Northern route line which runs from King's Lynn to King's Cross, serving Crews Hill, Gordon Hill, Enfield Chase, Grange Park, Winchmore Hill and Palmers Green in Enfield.

Speaking after the meeting, Nick said, "We had a constructive meeting and I was impressed by First Capital Connect's clear desire to improve rail services for Enfield commuters. I said we'd like to see more services at peak times and longer trains where there is frequent over-crowding. We need improvements soon".

Nick plans to hold an adjournment debate in the House of Commons on rail services when Parliament returns from recess, to highlight commuters' concerns. He added, "Your daily commute has a big impact on your quality of life. If we improve train services we can improve people's quality of life, and that's what motivates me as an MP - speaking up for people and hopefully making a difference".
