MIKE Amesbury has blasted yet another delay to the promised two trains an hour in Mid Cheshire a ‘total disgrace’ and demanded a meeting with minsters and rail bosses.

The scheme had already been delayed in the past, but Northern has revealed it has now been delayed again.

Having written to Chris Grayling last October about the first delay, he has now written again and called for a meeting with him. He has also asked for a meeting with Northern Rail.

Mike said: “It’s a total disgrace quite frankly. This is the latest in a long list of failures in our area, from two trains an hour to the delays to Halton curve, not to mention issues around lack of disabled access at Northwich station and overcrowding on the platform at Greenbank, all of which are issues I’ve raised and will continue to seek action on.

“Commuters in my constituency continue to see their fares rise every year with services stagnating or worsening. It’s unfair and is costing livelihoods.”
