HC Deb 24 October 1945 vol 414 c2140W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Minister of War Transport whether, in view of the unsatisfactory rail facilities provided for female members of His Majesty's Forces, especially on long journeys, he will take steps to reserve a coach for them and label it not for public use.

Mr. Barnes

Arrangements are already in force for the reservation of accommodation on trains for parties of Service-women numbering 20 or more, and also at terminal stations for duty parties when the number will fill one or more compartments. Moreover, it is the Railway Companies' practice to reserve compartments for women passengers on long-distance night trains where experience has shown this is required.
