The government's Transport Committee chairwoman has said it is "outrageous" that trains will be moved from the North to the South of England. MP Louise Ellman has written to the Secretary of State for Transport for an explanation about plans to transfer nine trains to Chiltern Railways. The trains, currently used between Manchester and Hull, will move from April 2015 in a lease agreement. The current train operator has "no contractual rights" to the locomotives.
