§ Mr. Kellyasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the action of the London Passenger Transport Board in stopping at Tooting many of the trains marked for Merton, thus increasing the congestion and danger to passengers using this line; and will he take steps to prevail on this railway board to pay regard to the comfort and safety of the passengers?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaI am informed by the London Passenger Transport Board that only in exceptional circumstances are trains marked as proceeding to Morden reversed at Tooting Broadway, and that this action arises from the necessity to adjust the train service after interruption on another part of the line. I am assured that in such circumstances complete safeguards are taken against any risk of accident.
