HC Deb 19 January 1983 vol 35 c156W
28. Sir William van Straubenzee

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to institute the experimental running of high speed lorries and buses on reserved sections of railway track.

Mr. Eyre

None. However, we announced in the autumn our support for studies of the costs and engineering constraints of converting two disused railway routes into roads. Our objective in supporting these studies is to obtain independent advice on possible ways of using redundant transport rights of way.
