Drawing on his experience as a former Shadow Rail Minister, Morgan emphasised his role in driving Labour’s vision for rail reforms to deliver better, more reliable service for passengers.
This move follows the Passenger Railway Services Act of 2024, which sets the stage for a transformative shake-up of Britain’s rail network.
MP Stephen Morgan said “This is very welcome news for Portsmouth people. For too long, passengers have been let down by unreliable services and the change needed was nothing short of fundamental.
“In my previous role as Shadow Rail Minister, I was delighted to play my part in creating these bold reforms to deliver better, more reliable rail services for passengers.
“Today’s announcement shows we are serious and on our way to reversing the mess that the previous Government left things in.”
There are also plans underway to display performance information at stations – allowing the public to hold the rail leaders to account for delivery.
