§ Mr. William Priceasked the Minister of Transport what proposals the British Railways Board has made to her Department during the past 12 months in relation to services between Rugby Central and Nottingham Victoria; on what date the proposals were received; and what replies have been given.
§ Mrs. CastleAfter earlier informal exchanges between the Board and the Ministry we were told on 6th March that, following the issue of the basic rail network map, the Board proposed to publish a closure proposal under Section 56(7) of the Transport Act 1962 which would involve the withdrawal of all passenger services between Rugby Central and Nottingham Victoria and the closure of Rugby Central itself and the six intermediate stations. We have asked the Board for further information in advance of publication.
