MP Robert Largan highlighted the long-standing issue of inadequate transport infrastructure in Gamesley, a constituency with poor public transport and low car ownership. He noted that despite promises made over five decades ago, Gamesley still lacks a railway station which has significantly impacted local residents' quality of life and job opportunities. The MP emphasised the strong support for building a new station from both locals and councils, underlining the strategic importance and minimal impact on existing services. Largan also mentioned related infrastructure projects such as the Mottram bypass and the Trans Pennine Trail that could complement Gamesley's railway project.
