The Chairman welcomed Mr.F.Baker, Economic Survey Officer, to the
Committee.
Minutes of meeting of July 14th, 1959
Agreed.
700. GENERAL MATTERS OF POLICY
1. Programme of diesel multiple
unit operation
(a) 1960 and 1961 Building Programmes
Consideration was given to a request from the D.T.S. for 29 of
the 50 2-car (MC + DT) units included in the 1960 programme for the
Nottingham-Leicester and old G.C. lines to be altered to MC + MC units,
thereby enabling the Manchester Part 3, which requires MC + MC units, to be
completed earlier, and for the 1961 requirements to be adjusted
accordingly.
It was noted that the Commission had not yet received any
requests from other Regions for MC + DT units, and it was not possible at
this stage to say whether an inter-regional transfer of units would be
possible.
