On question 3, the Minister quite rightly set out the suggested improvements to Manchester and Preston railway stations. They are on the line between Blackpool and Manchester that goes via Chorley, which is known as the misery line because of the overcrowding and undercapacity that exists on it. Does he agree that the line is in desperate need of electrification and the right rolling stock?

In addition to more rolling stock, there is an urgent need for more car parking spaces at Chorley Station. The existing car park is inadequate, being full by soon after 8am.
