As a member for a constituency with a strong connection with the railway industry, she has considerable expertise on transport matters and has been Chair of the House of Commons' Transport Select Committee since 1997; in this role she has been a thorn in the flesh of the government, and an attempt by the Government Whips to remove her from the Chair of the TSC after the 2001 General Election led to a revolt by back-bench members of Parliament, which led to her reinstatement.
