Major BARNESasked the President of the Board of Trade what was the yield per annum in a full year to the railways of the United Kingdom of the increased fares, and also the yield of the increased pass charges?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANIt is impossible to separate the effect of increased fares from that of increased travelling, but passenger train traffic receipts in 1918 on the controlled railways in Great Britain exceeded those for 1916 by nearly £15,000,000.
