The replies on Facebook are quite fun to read, but so far he doesn't seem to have explained what he has based his bizarre claim on.

Diesel trains at Woking to soon be replaced by electrics?

From Will Foster, MP for Woking

South Western Railway’s diesel trains will soon be replaced by electric trains.

With cancellations and delays already a big issue on the network serving #Woking, I’ve asked the Government to ensure that the rollout of new trains don’t add to the problem.

Has he heard something we have not?
