HC Deb 23 June 1947 vol 439 c12W
80. Viscount Hinchingbrooke

asked the Minister of Transport whether tests of the smooth-running track between Wimbledon and Raynes Park stations have yet been completed; and whether this type of track is now to be introduced generally on main line railways.

Mr. Barnes

The tests between Wimbledon and Raynes Park have been completed and a limited mileage of smooth-running track is being made, experimentally, by the Southern Railway as and when labour and materials are available. It would be premature, as yet, to say whether it will be introduced generally on main line railways.
