Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention had been called to the overcrowding which prevails in the workmen's trains on the Caledonian Railway from Rutherglen to Clydebank and Dalmuir; and whether he proposes to take any action to obviate the inconvenience suffered by the passengers in these trains?
Mr. BUXTONI received a complaint on this subject in January last, and communicated with the company, who arranged to put on an additional train leaving Anderston Cross, Glasgow, for Dalmuir, at 5.0 a.m., and returning from Dalmuir at 5.30 p.m. daily, except on Saturdays, when an additional train leaving Dalmuir for Rutherglen at 12.25 p.m. was provided. I have received no complaint since.
