Thatcham Level Crossing has frustrated residents and businesses for years. I’ve tabled an amendment to the Railways Bill to ensure high-delay crossings are reviewed, their impact assessed, and long-term solutions considered.

After months of frustrating cancellations on the 5.54am Thatcham train, I stepped in to help. One determined commuter got in touch after hitting a wall with every transport body — so I raised it directly with GWR and Network Rail. I’m pleased to say they listened, and as a result, we now have a new early morning train on trial. It’s a small but important win for local passengers — and a reminder that raising your voice can lead to real change.
