§ 75. Mr. Stodartasked the Minister of Transport what communication she has received from Edinburgh Corporation concerning the impending closure of the Edinburgh-Corstorphine railway line; and what reply she has sent.
§ Mr. CarmichaelThe Corporation wrote to the Department on 26th November asking for passenger services to be retained on the Edinburgh-Corstorphine line until the results of the East-Central Scotland Land Use/Transportation Study were known. They have been told that my right hon. Friend considers that the retention of the formation of the line is a sufficient safeguard and that she could not reasonably ask the Railways Board to continue running the services at a considerable loss.
