HC Deb 14 July 1943 vol 391 c221W
Mr. Stokes

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he is aware that no down train stops at Ingatestone on Sundays between 9.25 a.m. and 3.11 p.m.; that a train leaves Liverpool Street at 11.50 a.m. stopping at all stations between Romford and Chelmsford except Ingatestone; that an appeal to the London and North Eastern Railway Company that this train should stop at Ingatestone has received no reply other than formal acknowledgment; and whether he will make representations to the company with a view to a better service being afforded?

Mr. Noel-Baker

The London and North Eastern Railway have carefully considered the suggestion that the 11.50 a.m. from Liverpool Street should stop at Ingatestone. They report that there is not sufficient demand to justify the stop and the resulting changes in the time-table which would be required. If the situation should change, the company wilt reconsider the matter before their winter time-table is drawn up.
