HC Deb 30 June 1937 vol 325 cc1956-7
41. Mr. Thurtle

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can give any information regarding the circumstances of the collision which took place in Old Street, Shoreditch, on the 22nd instant, between two tramway cars, resulting in the injury of a large number of passengers?

Mr. Burgin

I am informed by the London Passenger Transport Board that on 22nd June at 8.15 a.m. a tram proceeding along Old Street in the direction of Bloomsbury stopped at Whitecross Street at the traffic signals and the tram following collided with it. Careful examination and test showed the colliding tram to have been in good working order.
