HC Deb 03 April 1941 vol 370 cc1184-5W
Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that great inconvenience has been caused to London Passenger Transport Board passengers by the recent withdrawal of certain express omnibus services, especially those cover- ing routes 59 and 159; and whether he will have these services reviewed?

Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon

Express bus services were instituted by the Board to cover the period when darkness set in at an early hour. Now that it is daylight when people leavè their work the need has passed. The position on each route has been examined and additions made, where necessary, to the ordinary services. On routes 59 and 159, six additional buses an hour are operated during peak periods between Streatham and Charing Cross. The position will be reviewed before next winter.
