flag Cumbrian MPs demand a recovery plan from Northern Trains over ongoing service disruptions, blaming privatisation and pushing for public ownership via the Railways Bill.

flag Cumbrian Labour MPs are demanding a recovery plan from Northern Trains after months of service disruptions on the Furness and Cumbria Coast Lines, worsened by the Bransty Tunnel closure since July 2025. flag They say current fixes are inadequate, harming commuters, students, and businesses, with some residents considering leaving. flag The MPs urge Northern Trains to submit a written plan by January 31, 2026, blaming ongoing issues on rail privatisation and pointing to the upcoming Railways Bill as a move toward public ownership. flag While improved timetables, better buses, and retrained staff have been introduced, Northern Trains says full service won’t resume until tunnel repairs are complete.
