§ Mr. Isaacsasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the emergency omnibus fare between the Elephant and Castle and Piccadilly is 3d. as against the standard fare of 2d. on the tube railway; and, as this is a great hardship to many workers, there being no workmen's fares, will he make inquiries as to whether this charge is authorised and justified?
§ Lieut.-Colonel Moore-BrabazonMy lion. Friend is under a misapprehension as to the fares charged from Elephant and Castle to Piccadilly. The ordinary single fare by rail or bus service (whether normal or emergency) is 2d. The workmen's return fare by rail is 3d. Passengers can obtain tickets from the station ticket offices and use them on the emergency bus service.
