HC Deb 14 July 1947 vol 440 c5W
74. Mr. Guy

asked the Minister of Transport whether any arrangements have yet been made for cheap day fares, as carried out last year during mid-week, to Southend-on-Sea, commencing with the summer school holidays.

Mr. Barnes

Cheap day fares on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, between populous towns and places within a radius of 20 miles or so are still in operation. Owing to the necessity for saving fuel no day excursions are being run this summer.
