Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Minister of Transport how many locomotive simulators are being used for the training of crews by British Railways; and what percentage saving in training days and costs has been achieved when this training aid has been used.
§ Mr. John MorrisMy right hon. Friend is informed by the British Railways Board that one locomotive simulator is used for training purposes. While this machine provides better quality training, it has not so far enabled any reduction to he made in actual training time; and information as to the saving in costs is not readily available.
