HC Deb 18 July 1935 vol 304 cc1211-2
35. Mr. DORAN

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can give any indication of when it is proposed to abolish the tramway system between Thornton Heath tramway terminus High Street and the Greyhound, Croydon, via the Brigstock Road; and whether, in view of the inefficiency and obsolescence of this route, he will urge the traffic commissioners to expedite the hearing of proposals for an omnibus service between these points?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I am informed by the London Passenger Transport Board that they do not at present contemplate the discontinuance of the tramway service between Thornton Heath tramway terminus and Croydon and that consequently there is no present intention of providing an omnibus service between these places.

Mr. DORAN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the service in this particular district is certainly very antiquated, and that I was informed on good authority this morning—

Mr. SPEAKER

Mr. Smith.
