HC Deb 15 July 1920 vol 131 cc2598-9
94. Mr. A. SHORT

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the local Great Western Railway trains running between Birmingham and Wolverhampton, especially on a morning and evening, are overcrowded, as many as 24 persons crowding into each compartment; and will he take action to see that the services are augmented or extra carriages put on?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of TRANSPORT (Mr. Neal)

My attention has not previously been drawn to this matter, but I am having inquiry made of the railway company concerned, and the hon. Member shall be informed of the result.
