HC Deb 03 February 1969 vol 777 cc7-8W
Mr. Ronald Atkins

asked the Minister of Transport what estimates he has made of the hours of travelling time saved by

service. We have, therefore, calculated the grant required for the network as a whole by reference to the estimated results in eight geographical sectors. I am circulating details in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following are the details:

users as a result of the electrification of the railways last year; and whether he will value this time in financial terms.

Mr. Carmichael

None. There are over 2,000 route miles of electrified track in the railway system, and a comparison with alternative necessarily hypothetical circumstances would be of little value.
