HC Deb 01 May 1922 vol 153 cc1012-3W
Sir H. NIELD

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport if he is aware that the passenger train service of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway between Hove, Brighton, Hastings, and Eastbourne and London terminus, outward and inward, has of late been subjected to frequent and prolonged delays; can he state the reason and give a return of trains late since 1st March last; and what steps are being taken to prevent delays in future?

Mr. NEAL

My information is that the trains upon the services in question have been running very punctually, except for slight delays about 8th March clue to damage to telegraph wires caused by a gale on that date.
