760. MINUTES OF MEETING OF MARCH 10TH, 1960
Agreed subject to Minute 750 1(c) (1st paragraph on Page 3) being ammended
to read:-
It was stated that, as the diesel multiple unit stock is more closely
related to the normal level of traffic than is locomotive hauled stock, difficulty
might be encountered in meeting the demand for peak summer additional passenger
trains and it may be necessary to consider conserving some locomotive hauled
stock, which would otherwise be displaced, against this eventuality.
761. GENERAL MATTERS OF POLICY
1. Programme of Diesel Multiple Unit
Operation
(a) Position of Schemes still to be
submitted
The position in regard to schemes still to be submitted, some of
which had already passed the target dates, was again reviewed and the present
position noted as follows :-
Manchester Part 4 - Due
for submission to the General Manager in November, 1959. Proposals
now in the hands of the Chief Civil Engineer. Mr.Martin explained the
difficulties which caused the delay. It was his intention to give
reasonably firm estimates for the scheme including requirements at Lostock
Hall, and he would personally arrange for the matter to be finalised. It
was noted that 29 2-car units for the scheme had been included in the proposed
1961 building programme.
Manchester Part
6 - Accountant awaiting estimates from Chief Civil Engineer re redundant
assets at Brunswick Motive Power Depot - Mr.Martin stated his enquiries were
now almost complete, and Mr.Reynolds asked for the complete proposals to be
submitted in time for the june meeting of the Area Board.
