The MP references Derby's historical significance and recent investment in rail technology, including the development of hydrogen trains.
Does he agree that that combination of pedigree and potential would make Derby an excellent location for the new headquarters of Great British Railways?
My hon. Friend knows my affection for Derby, which I represented for 10 years in the European Parliament. She is right that Derby has played an important role in the history of rail in this country. I have heard her sales pitch this time and previous times loud and clear, but I have to say that the location of GBR's headquarters will be considered in due course.
