§ Mr. Andersonasked the Minister of Transport what have been the major changes since the publication in March 1967 of the British Railways Network 344W for development showing the Newport to Hereford and Gloucester line as scheduled for development, which have led to his refusal of grant aid for local services between these points.
§ Mr. MarshNone. The long-distance services over these lines are continuing. Publication of the Railway Network Map did not preclude the need to review from time to time the type and level of services on the lines shown in the map and the possible closure of individual stations; this was made clear in the Foreword.
