HC Deb 08 December 1947 vol 445 c128W
100. Mr. D. Griffiths

asked the Minister of Transport what repairs are needed to the large number of goods wagons standing on the Hull and Barnsley line between Thurnscoe and Wath-on-Dearne.

Mr. Callaghan

All kinds of repairs. Most of the wagons have now been moved to shops and the rest will follow in a short time.

109. Mr. Longden

asked the Minister of Transport why, in view of the success of his appeal for a quick turn-round of wagons some 130 wagons have been allowed to stand idle for about two months, on the line between Straford-on-Avon and Alcester; and what he intends to do about it.

Mr. Callaghan

These wagons need heavy repairs and will be moved into repair workshops as soon as capacity is available.
