HC Deb 11 May 1989 vol 152 c485W
Mr. David Nicholson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received about overcrowding on InterCity trains in the western region(a) during 1987, (b) during 1988 and (c) to date during 1989; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Portillo

Loadings on InterCity trains are a matter for BR management. Although I regularly receive representations on InterCity rail services, the Department does not keep statistics of them.
