HC Deb 19 July 1946 vol 425 cc270-1W
Mr. McKie

asked the Minister of Transport if he will consider altering the hour of departure of the 4.50 p.m. Stranraer boat express to the prewar hour of 7.30 p.m., as the earlier timing is now causing inconvenience to many passengers.

Mr. Barnes

As from the 7th October next, boat trains will leave Euston for Stranraer at 6.15 p.m. and 6.30 p.m. on weekdays, except Saturdays, and at 5.55 p.m. and 6.5 p.m. on Sundays. I regret that for operating reasons it is not possible to restore the prewar timings where there was only one boat train.
