HC Deb 31 July 1890 vol 347 c1364
MR. ESSLEMONT (Aberdeen, E.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether arrangements have yet been completed to accelerate the mails between London and the North-East of Scotland?

MR. RAIKES

I am happy to inform the hon. Member that arrangements have been made for accelerating the night mail service between London and Aberdeen on and from the night of the 4th proximo. The mail will reach Aberdeen nearly an hour earlier, and the return mail to London will leave Aberdeen nearly an hour later.
