12/09/08
Rob Wilson, Member of Parliament for Reading East, has today welcomed Network Rail’s proposals for Reading Station. Rob said, “This is another small but important step in delivering a very important and strategic project which is important to Reading, but is also crucial to the West Country, Wales and the national rail network. Personally I am delighted – this scheme has had to be given the ‘kiss of life’ more than once in the 3 and half years I’ve been an MP, so seeing it come to fruition makes it all worthwhile.”
