Chloe Smith on two Norfolk rail accidents

Chloe Smith, MP for Norwich North and co-chair of the Great Eastern Mainline Rail Taskforce, today comments on the two rail accidents in Norfolk in two days:

 

"It is very concerning to have two accidents in two days, one of them fatal today near Norwich. My thoughts and sympathies go out to all who've been tragically involved, including the staff and emergency services. I will be speaking urgently to Greater Anglia and Network Rail to see what lessons can be drawn immediately and in the long term for better safety on our railway in Norfolk, whilst we go about securing the improvements to service that we've been campaigning for over many years."
