HC Deb 26 July 1939 vol 350 cc1465-6
71. Mr. Robert Gibson

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has considered the further representations on the lack of transport facilities between Glasgow and Innellan; and whether he will make a statement on the subject?

Captain Wallace

As the answer contains a number of figures, I will, with the hon. and learned Member's permission, circulate it in the Official Report.

Following is the answer:

The London Midland and Scottish Railway Company inform me that except on Saturdays a train leaves Glasgow (Central) at 6.45 p.m. giving a connection with a steamer leaving Gourock at 7.40 p.m. and arriving at Innellan at 8.20 p.m. On Saturdays a train leaves Glasgow (Central) at 7 p.m. connecting with a steamer leaving Wemyss Bay at 8.10 p.m. and arriving at Innellan at 9.25 p.m. There is also an earlier train on all weekdays from Glasgow (Central) at 6.10 p.m. arriving at Gourock at 6.59 p.m. (6.56 p.m. on Saturdays), but without a connection to Innellan. I am still in communication with the company on the further points brought to my notice by the hon. and learned Member, and I will let him know the result as soon as possible.
