East Grinstead Train Chaos: MP Takes Action!
On Wednesday 28th September, Mims Davies MP confronted angry commuters at East Grinstead station over the endless cancellations and shoddy train services wrecking their daily journey.
MP Demands Government Steps In
Mims has fired off a letter to the Secretary of State for Transport, begging for an urgent meeting. She wants answers on how they’ll fix the mess for East Grinstead and the wider Mid Sussex area. Her top priority? Holding Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) to account and making sure reliable trains run from the station.
Transport Dept Responds with Promises
Rail Minister Kevin Foster has since updated Mims. The Department for Transport has ordered GTR to reshuffle its services to better match what passengers actually need going forward.
