HL Deb 22 June 1886 vol 307 c185
THE EARL OF LONGFORD (for the Earl of BELMORE)

asked the Postmaster General, Whether he had considered the possibility of sending the night mails from Enniskillen to England, Scotland, Dublin, &c, by rail, instead of, as at present, by road viâ Omagh; and whether he could state what would be the additional cost?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Lord WOLVERTON)

said, that he hoped to have been able to give the noble Earl a final answer to his Question; but the terms demanded by the Railway Company for the performance of the new service had hitherto been such as to preclude a favourable consideration of the arrangement. He had, however, made a counter offer to the Company, which he trusted the Directors would see their way to accept.
