HC Deb 14 April 1919 vol 114 c2568W
Mr. R. YOUNG

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that eight months ago the daily workmen's tickets from Earlestown, London and North-Western Railway, to Manchester was suspended until further notice; that the trains by which these tickets were available are still running, namely, 6.30 and 7.30 a.m., and that workmen arriving by these trains in Manchester can get daily workmen's tickets to stations in Yorkshire; and whether, seeing that the suspension of these tickets is an inconvenience to workmen, and that Earlestown and Newton-le-Willows appear to be the only places to which the suspension applied or is continued, he will take steps, in the interests of all concerned, to cancel the suspension at an early date?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I am sending the hon. Gentleman a copy of a letter which I have received from the Railway Company on this matter.
