§ Sir L. LYLEasked the Minister of Transport whether he has made representations to the London and North Eastern Railway Company with respect to the entirely inadequate platforms at a great number of their stations, more especially on the line between Liverpool Street and Cambridge?
§ Mr. GOSLINGI have no power to require railway companies to alter the platforms on lines which have already been officially sanctioned for use for passenger traffic. I have, however, brought to the notice of the company certain representations made to me on this subject by the hon. Member, but the 1177W company have informed me that, in view of the expense involved, they do not feel justified in carrying out at present the improvements desired.
