About Tom Brake

I am Tom Brake, I live locally in Carshalton and Wallington and I have been a strong voice for Carshalton and Wallington for over 20 years.

As a Wallington resident, I campaign on the issues that I believe matter to local people: St Helier Hospital, our local primary and secondary schools, tackling anti-social behaviour, pensions, bus and train services.

I am also the first i-MP, click on the picture above to view the latest video and to submit your question.

  • Tom being trained on a train simulator.
    MP Gets on Track
    Article: May 10, 2013

    Last week local MP Tom Brake visited Southern's train simulator centre to experience at first hand just how difficult it is to drive a train.

    The Carshalton and Wallington MP used the simulator at the suggestion of a train driver after tweeting about trains being delayed.

    Tom said, "Just from 'driving' a train using a simulator, I can sense how difficult it is to bring a train smoothly to a halt, at exactly the right spot at the platform. Drivers face a tough challenge with our unpredictable and often chaotic weather conditions."
