The Liberal Democrat Autumn Conference today approved the party's radical plans to transform Britain's transport system, outlined in its Fast Track Britain: Building a Transport System for the 21st Century policy paper.
The paper calls for a national rail network fit for the demands of modern Britain, and the Liberal Democrats have today released a list of examples of rail lines that could be funded by proposals for a Future Transport Fund.
Other policies set out in the paper include:
Commenting, Liberal Democrat Shadow Transport Secretary, Norman Baker said:
"The Lib Dems are the only party with the foresight and determination to produce a coherent, courageous and costed plan for transport that is fit for the 21st century.
"We are the only party to produce a forward plan to tackle congestion and pollution while being fair to the motorist.
"While this Labour Government has rested on its laurels and presided over worsening road congestion and an increasingly overcrowded and expensive railway, the Lib Dems have made a commitment to a fair and modern transport system that helps the traveller and the environment."
