HC Deb 03 June 1946 vol 423 cc259-60W
93. Major N. Macpherson

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will improve the night train service from Dumfries to the South, which has recently been curtailed by the cancellation of one of the two night trains.

Mr. Barnes

Now, as before the war, two night trains rim from Dumfries to London, and I am not aware that this service is inadequate. No advertised trains have been cancelled, but an additional train for Service personnel, on which the public was allowed to use surplus accommodation, is no longer required and has recently been discontinued.
