HC Deb 03 December 1945 vol 416 cc1890-1
13. Mr. McKie

asked the Minister of War Transport if he will make a statement with regard to the consistent late running of the following L.M.S. express trains: the 10 a.m. Glasgow, Central, to London, the 10 a.m. Glasgow, St. Enoch, to London, and the 8.40 a.m. Perth to London.

Mr. Barnes

I am making inquiries and will communicate with the hon. Member.

Mr. McKie

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that for three or four months past all the three trains named in my Question have averaged not less than one hour late, that the travelling public between London and Scotland whose journeys are really necessary, and also the staff, are thereby suffering great inconvenience which they feel is avoidable? Will he give the matter his early personal consideration?
