The Coventry Telegraph covers news that a rural Warwickshire MP says he can get to London by train in less time than it takes to get the bus from his home to his constituency office

Fast trains take around an hour and a half to make the journey of just under 90 miles from Bedworth to London, while slower trains take around two hours and 20 minutes.

The MP, Craig Tracey, testified to his experience at a transport debate on bus links, where he called for services to be ‘re-invigorated’.
