§ Mr. Pardoeasked the Minister of Transport what communications she has received concerning the reopening of the Padstow to Bodmin Road branch line; and what reply she has made.
§ Mr. John MorrisWe have received several letters asking for this line to be reopened. Our replies have said that, when my right hon. Friend gave her consent to the closure, she was satisfied that the replacement bus services, provided as a condition of that consent, would meet the needs of displaced rail users. We have also indicated that my right hon. Friend cannot reverse her decision but that she will consider any specific evidence that the bus service is not adequate.
