HC Deb 31 July 1957 vol 574 cc195-6W
64. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what progress has been made with the construction of an electric line from the London— Tilbury line near Ford's factory, Dagenham, to link with the Upminster—Southend and Liverpool Street—Shenfield lines.

Mr. Nugent

There is no proposal to construct a new line giving these links, but the London—Tilbury line, on which the preliminary work for electrification is in hand, will give Dagenham workers a connection with the Upminster—Southend line at Barking.
