HC Deb 03 December 1945 vol 416 cc2038-9W
Miss Herbison

asked the Minister of War Transport if he is aware that many Service women and men, travelling overnight by train between London and Glasgow and Glasgow and London, have to travel in the corridor because of lack of seating accommodation; and will he take immediate steps to ensure that proper accommodation is made available for them.

Mr. Barnes

I regret that on some trains between London and Glasgow there are not sufficient seats to accommodate all the passengers. The trains are, however, all made up to their maximum weight and the running of additional trains is not practicable in present circumstances.
