HC Deb 31 July 1957 vol 574 c193W
59. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation in view of the fact there is to be no underground station under the new British European Airways' terminal building at Cromwell Road, what steps are being taken to ensure an easy and direct access to this new building from the west-end of Gloucester Road Station.

Mr. Neave

The question of providing direct access at the west end of Gloucester Road Station is a matter for the London Transport Executive. It would involve them in heavy expenditure which they would consider only if it became clear that there was a real need for the facility.

65. Mr. Rankin

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will make a further statement on the facilities that are to be offered to air passengers joining or leaving British European Airways coaches at the new terminal in Cromwell Road.

Mr. Neave

If the hon. Member is referring to transport between Gloucester Road Station and the Air Terminal, a distance of about 400 yards, I understand that the London Transport Executive and Air Terminals Limited are considering various means of assisting passengers in transit if any substantial demand arises.
