Parliament debate about the failings of First Capital Connect’s Enfield train service

Enfield MPs Nick de Bois and David Burrowes lead a debate in parliament about the train service which runs through the borough.

Both Mr de Bois, MP for Enfield North and Mr Burrowes, MP for Enfield Southgate, have voiced concerns of frequent commuters using the First Capital Connect train line that passes through Enfield on its way into London to the train company.

FCC has said it will be looking into the situation to improve the conditions of the line.

However, both MPs have now debate in Parliament about the issues, along with other MPs whose constituents take the same line.

“Clearly long term work is underway which will bring improvements, but there are steps that can be taken now to help ease the delays. FCC have been left in no doubt about what to do and we have full ministerial support for them to act swiftly.”

Mr Burrows said: “For too long my constituents have had to put up with sub-standard services and this must stop. As a London commuter I appreciate the frustrations and problems that unexplained cancellations, service alterations and delays can cause to those who work and travel daily into London.

“First Capital Connect can no longer ignore this issue as this debate has helped put my constituents’ concerns on record here in Parliament.”
