§ Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of War Transport if he will run a late tram to the New Cross district in order that the catering staff of this House may have transport home after working a long day owing to Members dining late instead of early, and often after 8.30 p.m.
§ Mr. BarnesThe London Passenger Transport Board propose to run later journeys in the New Year on the direct tram service from Westminster to New Cross. After 10 p.m. there is a service of trams throughout the night to New Cross from Savoy Street via Blackfriars, with train connections up to nearly 1a.m. from Westminster Station. It is not possible to run these cars from Westminster, as they are specially timed to give connections at various points on journeys in both directions. There are also Southern Railway services from Charing Cross to New Cross up to shortly before 1 a.m.
