HC Deb 10 January 1989 vol 144 c616W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will call for a report on the congestion at Stratford, London E,15, station during peak travelling times caused by the single turnstile passenger exit; and what arrangements exist for the evacuation of the station in event of an emergency.

Mr. Portillo

As these are matters for the managements of British Rail and London Underground, I will not call for a report. But I understand that in an emergency, both turnstiles could be set to the "out" direction and a gate opened to allow passengers to leave quickly.
