HC Deb 11 September 1941 vol 374 cc319-20W
Mr. Evelyn Walkden

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he has further considered the question of abolishing first-class travel on the London suburban railways; and can he make any announcement on the subject?

Colonel Llewellin

As from Monday, 6th October, all trains which both begin and end their journeys within the London Passenger Transport Area, extended to certain points somewhat beyond that area, will be third class only. First-class accommodation will continue to be provided on trains beginning or ending their journeys outside, but making stops within, this area.
