HC Deb 04 November 1946 vol 428 cc177-8W
92. Mr Erroll

asked the Minister of Transport when it will be possible to provide additional sleeping cars, first and third class, on the night trains between Manchester and Euston.

Mr. Barnes

I am informed that there are not, at present, sufficient coaches available to provide additional first class sleeping cars between Manchester and Euston. In any event, the night trains are fully loaded and it would be necessary to withdraw a passenger coach. The demand for third class sleeping accommodation is, I am informed, insufficient to justify the running of additional cars.
