HC Deb 05 March 1990 vol 168 c481W
Mr. Beggs

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has made to BR about the London-Stanraer overnight sleeper service.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

My right hon. and learned Friend was informed by British Rail of its plans to withdraw the Stranraer-London sleeper service from 14 May and to provide a connecting service between Stranraer and the Glasgow-London sleeper trains. While it is regrettable that British Rail has found it necessary to follow this course, the decision is a commercial matter for British Rail.
