HC Deb 18 June 1931 vol 253 cc1923-4
56. Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the Minister of Transport if his attention has been called to the danger and inconvenience caused to passengers entering and alighting form the trains of the London Midland and Scottish and the London and North Eastern Railways at the Tebay Junction Station because of the depth from the carriages on to the platform; and will he draw the attention of the two companies with a view to a remedy being made?

Mr. PARKINSON

I cannot trace the receipt of previous representations in regard to this matter, but I will make inquiries and let my hon. Friend know the result.

Mr. RICHARDSON

Is my hon. Friend aware that this is a personal letter of my own to the London. Midland and Scottish Railway, and that I cannot get anything done; and is he also aware that at this station all passengers from the north eastern area must go round the other way and many of them are convalescents going to various homes in that area?

Mr. PARKINSON

I am not aware of the circumstances which have been stated by my hon. Friend, but I will cause further inquiries to be made.
