Labour pledge to review 'woeful' train operator

LABOUR has said it would urgently consider stripping Avanti West Coast of its train operating contract if the party wins the General Election.

Shadow transport secretary, Louise Haigh, claimed the company, which operates trains to London Euston from Manchester Piccadilly, has provided 'woeful service' on the West Coast Main Line.

Office of Rail and Road figures show Avanti West Coast had the third worst reliability of all operators in Britain in the year to the end of March, with the equivalent of one in 15 trains (6.9 per cent) cancelled.
