HC Deb 05 July 1972 vol 840 cc128-9W
55. Mr. Fidler

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in the light of the recent tunnel railway accident in France, he will give a general direction to British Railways that express trains should only be permitted to pass through tunnels singly and so avoid any possibility of collision between trains passing through tunnels in opposite directions, either by touching each other or in a single accident due to roof fall or any other emergency obstacle.

Mr. Peyton

No.
