HC Deb 06 July 1925 vol 186 cc57-8W
Mr. W. BAKER

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the Southern Railway Company has spent large sums of money on the electrification of its suburban services between Thornton Heath and Victoria, as a result of which the journey has been accelerated, and that owing to the bad traffic arrangements the acceleration which has been secured is nullified by the practice of discharging the passengers at the Grosvenor Road end of the station from which a long walk is involved before Victoria Street is reached; and whether he will advise the company to make the. necessary adjustment?

Colonel ASHLEY

The point raised has not previously been brought to my notice, but I will make inquiries, and let the hon. Member know the result.
