§ Mr. DEVLINasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the reason why no train is run to Parkmore, county Antrim, station on Sundays; whether he is aware that the failure to run this train deprives the people of the Glens of Antrim, who are employed in Belfast, of the opportunity of visiting their homes on Sundays, and generally is a source of dissatisfaction and of complaint; whether he can state the reason why the trains do not carry passengers to Retreat station, and why the people of Cushendall are, in consequence, compelled to travel seven miles to the trains; whether he can state the reason why return tickets between Parkmore and Ballymena are not issued except at double £he ordinary single fares; whether he can state the reason why the railway company raises the tourist car fares during the summer months by over 50 per cent, on the Antrim Glens routes; and whether he will make inquiries into these matters, and also into the reason why reduced fares for return tickets are not charged to the Antrim Glens on one day of the week the same as on the main line?
Mr. BUXTONI have sent a copy of the hon. Member's question to the Northern Counties Committee for their observations on the points raised, and I will communicate with him on receipt of their reply.
