HC Deb 19 May 1971 vol 817 cc309-10W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the evidence on which his Department decided that the train service from Euston to Watford was over-provided for; what consultation he had with the London Borough of Brent and other boroughs affected before endorsing the cut-back in schedules; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peyton

The reduction should save £120,000 a year while still providing adequate accommodation even in the peak hour. Following normal practice, the Transport Users Consultative Committee and the Economic Planning Council were consulted.
