HC Deb 26 February 1940 vol 357 cc1734-5W
Dr. Little

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider the urgency and necessity of providing third-class sleeping accommodation on the boat trains to and from Stranraer; and whether he will have such accommodation made available at the earliest possible moment in the interests of travellers, both military and civilian, who desire such travelling facilities?

Captain Wallace

I am advised that there is insufficient demand for third-class sleeping accommodation to justify the attachment of a third-class sleeping car, more especially as its inclusion would often make it necessary to divide the train. A car was provided during the Christmas holidays, but on only one night was it anything like fully occupied.
