HC Deb 01 December 1988 vol 142 c354W
Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will revise his quality of service objectives for British Rail to prevent overcrowding on trains between Halifax and Leeds; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Portillo

Quality standards on PTE-supported services are entirely a matter for the PTE.

Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if, when he next meets the chairman of British Rail, he will discuss updating the railway station at Sowerby Bridge.

Mr. Portillo

That is a management matter for BR and the West Yorkshire PTE.
