641. GENERAL MATTERS OF POLICY
1. Programme of Diesel Multiple
Unit Operation
The Chairman referred to the position, as anticipated by
the Director of Traffice Services, in regard to vehicles to be
delivered in 1959 and 1960 as shown hereinafter, and drew special
attention to the fact that 116 vehicles were still not allocated to
schemes. It was
imperative that these vehicles be put into service when delivered,
but the position remained that submissions for schemes to absorb the
vehicles had not yet been received.
Mr.Gould explained that whilst every effort was being made
by the Divisional Traffic Managers and Headquarters to finalise
schemes, the reduction in the revenue budget for 1959 had necessitated
a further review of all passenger services with the object of cutting
out those which were uneconomical, and it was on account of this that
considerable delay was being experienced in the submission of further
diesel schemes.
