780. MINUTES OF MEETING OF JUNE 9th, 1960
Agreed.
781. GENERAL MATTERS OF POLICY
1. Position of Schemes still to be
submitted
The four schemes concerned in the vehicles required to be included
in the 1961 Building Programme and for which the Commission have requested
individual schemes were reviewed as follows:-
Manchester Part 10 - Being
considered at the July meeting of the Area Board.
Manchester Part 4 - Proposals in
circulation for signature by Departmental Officers and should be submitted to
the August meeting of the Area Board.
Manchester Part 6 - Accountant
has now received information regarding redundant assets at Brunswick Motive
Power Depot. Scheme in course of preparation and should be prepared in
time for submission to August meeting of the Area Board.
Manchester Part 5 - It was noted
that although a scheme had been prepared for submission, the anticipated
financial results were not sufficiently favourable as to justify submission to
the Area Board.
The proposals had been prepared on the basis of operation of the whole
scheme by MC + MC units but it was felt that in order to reduce the capital cost,
the possibility of operating certain sections of the line by MC + DT units
should be investigated.
Details of the proposals were discussed and in view of the observations
of the Officers concerned, the Chairman directed that the whole scheme be
re-examined but at the same time stressed the necessity for a submission to be
made to the Area Board at the earliest possible moment.
