Night Riviera sleeper train
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, are extremely concerned that government plans to cut the vital Night Riviera sleeper train service from London to Penzance.
This train is a vital link to South West England for business and leisure travellers: one whose loss would be felt keenly across the region. It is the only way to get from Cornwall to London before 0900 hours without staying overnight in the capital: and the governments own figures suggest that it is well-used. How can it not be value for money?
We urge you to instruct the Strategic Rail Authority to provide a full and binding commitment to retain and develop this critical service for the good of the people, economy, and transport infrastructure of the South West.

It would be a shame if this service is axed at a time when the government is slowly waking up to the environmental damage associated with road and air travel. We use this service regularly for our family holid

It would be a tragedy to cut off the West Country from this vital service. I organise press trips to Cornwall for journalists and the majority of those coming from London choose to take the train overnight

The sleeper is essential for when I bring my family to Cornwall from the USA. It saves us a whole day, during which time we can pump more dollars into the British economy.

Tourism is the major income for Cornwall, why then make us a little bit more inaccessable surely the reverse should be happening.
