HC Deb 01 March 1915 vol 70 c584W
Mr. LEICESTER HARMSWORTH

asked the Postmaster-General if he will state how many times the afternoon mail train has been late in its arrival at Thurso-and Wick, respectively, since the 1st of January last, and the average extent of such lateness?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The afternoon mail train has not arrived punctually at Thurso or Wick on any occasion during this period. The average lateness was two hours and twenty-seven minutes at Wick and two hours and twenty-nine minutes at Thurso. No material improvement can be looked for in present circumstances.
