HC Deb 17 March 1937 vol 321 cc2068-9
72. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the inconvenience caused in Leyton by irregular and inadequate transport service in the High Road; and whether he will indicate when a completely efficient service of public vehicles will operate along this thoroughfare?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The London Passenger Transport Board do not agree that these services are normally either unduly irregular or inadequate. They expect that the tram services along the High Road will be replaced by trolley buses by the end of May next and that this will increase the accommodation available for passengers.

Mr. Sorensen

Do I understand from the right hon. Gentleman that the Transport Board have declared that there is no undue irregularity, and that therefore there has been some irregularity, in view of the fact that some buses have been taken off? Has that not led to a very great deal of inconvenience, causing many people to wait an unnecessary length of time for their ordinary means of transport?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

I have said what the Transport Board will do in the future.

Mr. Lyons

Does this tram service go to Fairlop?
