HC Deb 19 May 1947 vol 437 c205W
83. Mr. G. Wallace

asked the Minister of Transport if he will now make a statement on the suggestion of the hon. Member for Chislehurst that hand straps attached to luggage racks be provided on Southern Electric trains for the safety and convenience of standing passengers, especially on the Bexleyheath and Dartford loop lines.

Mr. Barnes

I understand that the Southern Railway Company are considering the installation of a horizontal hand rail in compartment coaches of new electric stock now about to be constructed.
