HC Deb 29 May 1935 vol 302 cc1124-5
41. Captain DOWER

asked the Post master-General whether he is aware that since the closing of the Bulgill to Cocker-mouth railway the morning mail in Cocker mouth is delivered about 10 o'clock, causing considerable inconvenience to business people and tradesmen; and what steps he proposes to take to arrange for an earlier delivery?

Sir E. BENNETT

The London Mid land and Scottish Railway Company found it necessary to suspend this passenger train service because the line was unsafe. The question of providing a more satisfactory alternative service is under discussion with the company.

Captain DOWER

Am I to understand that it is under consideration, and, if so, can the hon. Member assure me, because of the considerable inconvenience that is; being caused, that there will be no un necessary delay?

Sir E. BENNETT

I am sorry if I was inaudible. I have stated that the matter is under discussion with the company.
