HC Deb 24 July 1957 vol 574 c54W
68. Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will detail the programme approved by him of electrification of the Euston—Liverpool—Manchester main line, giving the estimated dates of completion of each section.

Mr. Watkinson

There is little I can add to the information I have already given the hon. Member. Electrification of the line is starting in the north, and working southwards, and although the plan is up to schedule, there is nothing at present to suggest that the whole line to Euston will be finished before 1967.
