Lloyd Russell-Moyle, the Labour Party candidate for Brighton Kemptown, today welcomed the manifesto commitment by the Labour Party to build a new Train line linking Brighton and London.

“Many residents tell me of the misery of the trains to Brighton and the hit to our economy, which is in danger of crippling our city” said the Labour Party candidate.

“A second line will stop our city being held to ransom by an ineffective train operator, Southern, and allow the economy and the people of Brighton to grow and prosper. It will also restore the link across Sussex to the Weald and reduce road traffic.”
