HC Deb 24 November 1919 vol 121 cc1475-6W
MAJOR PRESCOTT

asked the Minister of Transport whether anything can be done to improve the railway service on the Great Eastern system between Liverpool Street and Enfield; whether he is aware that the local morning and evening trains are dangerously overcrowded; that the frequent representations of local authorities during the past twelve months have not effected any substantial improvement; and that the company find no difficulty in providing additional trains when football matches are being played; and if he will make urgent representations to the company to improve the existing travelling facilities on this suburban line?

Sir E. GEDDES

I am informed that the Great Eastern Railway Company have recently strengthened the service on this line by running two additional trains. Any extra trains which may be provided for football spectators are not run during the mornings and evenings when the peakload in suburban traffic is reached.
