§ 86. Mr. Marplesasked the Minister of Transport why, on 29th June, the train leaving Liverpool Central at 10.10 p.m. 291W and which should arrive at Manchester Central at 11.35 p.m. was 26 minutes late.
§ Mr. BarnesThere was five minutes delay at Liverpool awaiting passengers from the steamer from North Wales for whom this train is a recognised connection. Further, owing to exceptionally heavy traffic on this day there was delay at each station because the train was too long for the platforms and had to draw up twice. I regret any inconvenience which was caused to the hon. Member and other passengers by these delays.
