HC Deb 24 June 1898 vol 60 c33
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General whether he has any objection to naming the date upon which the acceleration of the Irish day mail service between London and Dublin will come into operation, and give the exact times of departure and arrival?

MR. HANBURY

One or two small details have still to be arranged, but I have no doubt the service will be in operation by the 1st August. The mail train will leave Euston 1¼ hours later than at present, and reach 4Dublin half an hour later. It will leave Dublin three-quarters of an hour later than at present, and arrive in London at the same time as now.
