HC Deb 09 March 1932 vol 262 c1792
51. Sir FRANK SANDERSON

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the overcrowding on the District Railway on the line from Ealing to Mark Lane, and of the fact that whilst tickets are sold to intending travellers the accommodation provided at those hours when the majority of persons have to travel is always inadequate, there being not only no seating capacity but frequently not even standing room; and if he will make representations to the railway company in the interests of the safety of the travelling public?

Mr. PYBUS

I am in communication with the railway company with regard to this matter and will let my hon. Friend know the result.

Mr. H. WILLIAMS

Will the hon. Gentleman call the attention of the company to the fact that coaches are frequently removed from the trains in the mornings before the rush hour is over?

Mr. PYBUS

Yes, Sir.
