790. MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 7th, 1960
Agreed.
791. GENERAL MATTERS OF POLICY
1. Position of Schemes still to be
submitted
The notes of the meeting of departmental representatives held on
August 3rd to consider the inclusion, in future proposals, of an assessment
of the net revenue attributable to each scheme, were discussed and the proposed
procedure agreed. It was noted that additional time would now be
necessary for the preparation of future schemes, but it was clear that in view
of the present financial position, future schemes must be proved to be
financially sound. The question was raised of the inclusion of a portion
of track and signalling costs and it was noted that Messrs. Baker and Riley
would consider with the departments concerned.
The schemes concerned with the vehicles tentatively included in the
1961 Building Programme and for which the Commission have requested the
submission of individual schemes were reviewed as follows:-
Manchester Part 4 ) - Manchester Part 6 )
Proposals prepared but financial results being re-appraised.
Manchester Part 5 -
Proposals prepared but being re-examined to ascertain the possibility of
operating certain sections of the line by MC + DT units, and also for
re-appraisal of financial results.
It was noted that the investigation into the remainder of the
schemes still to be submitted was proceeding satisfactorily. In respect
of the Broad Street - Tring service, the C.M.& E.E. is investigating the
technical possibility of the use of dual elecric stock.
