Viscount Hinchingbrooke
asked the Minister of Transport whether tests of the smooth-running track between Wimbledon and Raynes Park stations have yet been completed; and whether this type of track is now to be introduced generally on main line railways.
Mr. Barnes

It would be premature, as yet, to say whether it will be introduced generally on main line railways.
