HC Deb 30 June 1965 vol 715 c98W
Mr. Howarth

asked the Minister of Transport if he has authorised the removal of any of the track on the Peterborough-Northampton line.

Mr. Swingler

My right hon. Friend's predecessor agreed last year that the Railways Board could remove the track between Thrapston and Oundle provided that the formation were retained in case of future need. The Board sought confirmation of this in relation to the Thorpe-Oundle section and my right hon. Friend has confirmed that he wishes this arrangement to continue. He has received no other applications from the Board for disposal of track on this line.

Forward to
