With Northern and Trans Pennine serving my own Constituency, my inbox leaves me in no doubt about the improvements people expect

Huw Merriman (Bexhill)
I’ve been a member of the Transport Select Committee since 2015. I am nominated by Lilian Greenwood, the previous Chair....
I am standing because I do not believe that the Transport sector delivers value in the UK. Too many revolving doors and a lack of competition, accountability and responsibility causes our constituents to receive a poor service and provision.
We can do better. The Committee is respected across the sector. By coming up with ideas for change, we can make a positive contribution and improve transport for all. This will only happen if we find a way through the walls of resistance
