HC Deb 19 December 1947 vol 445 cc450-1W
Major Haughton

asked the Minister of Transport how often the 10 p.m. train from Stranraer to London has been late since the 1st September, 1947; and how often the 6.30 p.m. from Euston connecting with Belfast via steamer has been late in arriving at the York Road terminus during the same period; and if, in fairness to the public, he will revise the timetable in accordance with experience and a reasonable expectation of the time of arrival henceforth.

Mr. Barnes

Since 1st September, both trains have always arrived late, and the company is considering an alteration in their timings to take account of the present difficult running conditions.
