Reference was made to sub-committee Minute 801 which stated that
the whole scheme should be completed by September, 1961. Mr.Martin
said that the proposals should be ready in time for submission to the April
Area Board meeting, and in the meantime tenders were being invited within
the existing authority. He could not guarantee that the C.C.E's
portion of the work would be complete before June, 1961 (after which the the
C.M.& E.E. would require three months for his work), but he could arrange
for his work to be so planned as to enable the C.M.& E.E. to cover his work
concurrently with the C.C.E's work. Mr.Lawrence considered it
advisable that a period of three months be allowed for the running in of
the maintenance facilities, after the completion of the depot, and it was
agreed that Mr.Martin, in conjunction with other departments concerned,
would review the whole position with the object, if possible, of bringing
forward the target dates mentioned. The depot must be in full working
order before the complete service was started.
