David Parsons upset about rail electrification announcement

"Councillor David Parsons, leader of Leicestershire County Council and chairman of the East Midlands Regional Assembly, said: "It is extremely disappointing and we will not take this lying down.

"We met with Network Rail recently who said there was a good chance this would be included and then we get this announcement. We want to know why.

"This has serious economic implications for Leicestershire and the region. We will be the fastest-growing area in the coming years but they still refuse to electrify our railway line."
