HC Deb 17 December 1929 vol 233 cc1236-7W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Minister of Transport if he will investigate the overcrowding on the underground railways which takes place during the morning and afternoon, particularly on the Hampstead line, since the reduction of the number of coaches on each train?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I am informed by the company that there has been no reduction in the rush-hour services since the introduction of the winter schedules in October, and that in the case of the Hampstead and City line the service was strengthened on the 2nd December by two additional six-car trains.
