HC Deb 01 December 1926 vol 200 c1191
55. Mr. W. BAKER

asked the Minister of Transport whether the Government Regulations place any limit upon the number of goods trucks or the total tonnage which may be linked together in one train?

Colonel ASHLEY

This is a matter for which the railway companies themselves are responsible, and there are no Government Regulations on the subject, except that the Regulations with regard to continuous brakes on passenger trains made under the Regulation of Railways Act, 1889, incidentally limit the number of ordinary goods wagons on such trains.
