HC Deb 14 December 1966 vol 738 cc100-1W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport if she will state the scope and result of her communications with British Railways about the service of liner trains linking Aberdeen with Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool and London.

Mrs. Castle

A freightliner terminal at Aberdeen was opened on 31st October and daily trains to and from London are being operated. The Railways Board plan to start a service between Aberdeen and Glasgow very soon which will act as a feeder link with the existing freightliner services between Glasgow and Manchester and Liverpool.
