Machynlleth-Pwllheli Line

HC Deb 07 March 1969 vol 779 cc194-5W

Mr. William Edwards

asked the Minister of Transport how the subsidy to be paid for the current year on the Machynlleth-Pwllheli railway line is to be apportioned between operating costs and general maintenance and improvements.

Mr. Marsh

The grant is calculated as follows:

		£ thousands
Movement costs	…	101
Terminal costs	…	31
Track and Signalling costs	…	226
Interest and Administration	…	45
	…	403
Less Earnings	…	66
Grant for 1969	…	337

The movement, terminal and track and signalling cost figures include provision for general maintenance and renewals but do not distinguish between these and operating costs.
