(d) Marylebone Carriage Shed
Mr.Reynolds said that is was at the moment visualised that on the
High Wycombe line a small number of off peak diesel services would be brought
into operation in existing steam timings on April 29th, and this service should
be completely operated by diesels on the 11th June, 1960. The substitution
of the present Aylesbury steam service by diesel units running in steam timings
was planned for the winter timetable 1960, but up to the present the provision
of maintenance and fuelling facilities at the shed had not commenced. It
was stated that some difficulty was being experienced with regard to the
siting of a new washing machine to replace the obsolete machine, and it was
agreed that the necessary alterations to the shed and the provision of fuelling
facilities be commenced forthwith, without regard to the siting of the washing
machine. Fuelling facilities will be required for February 25th when units
will be working for staff training purposes.
