HC Deb 29 July 1964 vol 699 c320W
Mr. Brewis

asked the Minister of Transport, in making his decision to close Pinwherry Station on the Stranraer-Ayr line, to what extent he took into account the hardship that will be caused to passengers in the Newton Stewart area who reach this station by bus and travel thence to Glasgow by rail; and whether he will reconsider this decision.

Mr. Marples

No objections on this ground appear to have been made to the Transport Users Consultative Committee, and only one referred to travel via Barr-hill. As the bus from Newton Stewart to Barrhill and Pinwherry runs on to Girvan (where it is possible to transfer to rail) and then to Ayr and Glasgow, I am not clear how hardship could arise.
