HC Deb 18 July 1898 vol 62 c73
MR. DALY

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether ha is aware that on the Great Northern. Railway (Ireland) no passenger train leaving Dundalk for Enniskillen stops at Cullioville Station from 9.32 a.m. to 7.51 p.m. any day of the week except Monday; whether he can say if the Great Northern Railway are acting legally in leaving Crossmaglenn and a thickly-populated neighbourhood without rail way accommodation for over 10 hours whether he can state if any other station on the Great Northern system is without railway communication for over 10 hours, excepting Cullioville; whether he is aware that during the management of Mr. Robertson the 4.15 train from Dundalk stopped at Cullioville; and if he will make representations to the company to stop this train at Cullioville in the future?

MR. HANBURY (for the President of the Board of Trade)

The Board of Trade cannot give a legal opinion as to whether adequate facilities are afforded by the Great Northern Railway of Ireland—the jurisdiction is in the Railway and Canal Commissioners. The Board of Trade feels strongly, however, that the company should improve the train service, and representations to that effect have been and are being made to them.
