439. GENERAL MATTERS OF POLICY
1. Minutes of meeting of 15th March 1956.
Agreed
2. Programme of Light Weight Diesel operation over
the next five years.
Mr.Gould reported that this review was continuing vigorously but until it
is decided what action is to be taken respecting trains carrying less than 100
passengers, it is not possible to give a firm estimate of the number of units likely
to be required over the next five years. The consideration which has been given to
the matter up to the present has been revealed that approximately 400 units will be
required.
3. Future schemes in course of preparation but not
yet considered by Committee
Western Division
Furness Section
Preliminary report possibly ready for next meeting.
