HC Deb 08 March 1967 vol 742 c293W
83. Mr. Spriggs

asked the Minister of Transport how many manufacturers have indicated a wish to convey their own goods to and from the proposed open railway terminals; and whether she has contacted private manufacturers to find out how many would use the liner train service if provided throughout by the Railways Board.

Mrs. Castle

Manufacturers have been at liberty since freightliner services started to convey their own goods to and from the terminals or to use the collection and delivery services provided by the Railways Board. Contact with prospective customers is a matter for the Board.
