It was noted that the timekeeping of the trains during the first three
days had been excellent and the numbers of passengers carried on the Manchester -
London runs very satisfactory. The loadings on the London - Leicester runs
were very light and in this connection the question of further advertising was
under consideration.
Mr. Lawrence said that a large number of requests had been received
for a London - Manchester run. A suggestion had also been made for the use of
the trains for special journeys e.g. Grand National and he had these points under
consideration.
Mr. Stanley reported that a complaint had been received from a
passenger regarding "rolling" of one of the motor cars and arrangements had been
made for alterations to be made to the buffing gear which would, to a great
extent, eradicate the rolling. Apart from this, only a few very minor
technical difficulties had arisen.
