Train spotting

I've had a little break from blogging over Easter but I'm back in action now and readying myself for the Budget next Wednesday.

This is just a quick post, which will hopefully please the commuters in my constituency who use the overground rail services into and out of Liverpool Street station. The Department for Transport has announced that funding will be provided to the National Express East Anglia train operator so that an additional 188 carriages can be added to their fleet. This will mean that for those of you using Silver Street, Edmonton Green, Bush Hill Park, Angel Road and Ponders End stations across Edmonton, you'll be seeing longer trains at peak times from December 2009 onwards. Hopefully this will put an end to cramped commuting. It's progress. The next thing to tackle will be ensuring the Oyster Card system is fully operational at all our stations too.
