HC Deb 28 April 1981 vol 3 cc393-4W
Mr. Allen McKay

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received concerning the proposed closure of railway lines in and affecting South Yorkshire.

Mr. Fowler

I have received a number of representations about the Railways Board's plans to withdraw freight services from the Woodhead tunnel route, which is entirely its responsibility; and also about the board's proposals to withdraw passenger services between Denby Dale and Sheffield, on which the final decision will be mine.
