794. SCHEMES AUTHORISED BUT NOT YET IN
OPERATION
1. Marylebone Suburban Services
(a) Commencement of service
Mr. Lawrence stated that the shortage of staff was approaching
a critical stage and to overcome the difficulty he had three projects in
mind for consideration before the complete diesel multiple unit service
was introduced.
Amersham - Aylesbury shuttle service - Originally
proposed to commence in June, 1961. L.T.E. now propose it should commence
in September, 1961.
High Wycombe Line - Investigation proceeding into
the possibility of introducing a multiple unit service in September, 1960 to
ameliorate shortage of firemen at Neasden.
Aylesbury - Princes Risborough Line -
Introduction of multiple unit service would save four firemen.
It was necessary for the question of maintenance facilities for these
services, prior to the completion of Marylebone Carriage Shed, to be considered and
it was agreed that Mr. Lawrence pursue the whole question with representatives of the
departments concerned and report at the next meeting.
(b) Marylebone Carriage Shed
The Chairman referred to the meeting held on July 20th and asked for a
joint statement to be submitted quickly giving details of the estimated outlay on
the new Shed, also for proposals to be submitted separately for the new carriage
washing machine, permanent lighting at Barge Sidings and the temporary facilities
required at Neasden.
2. Inter-City Services, Hull, Leeds, Manchester,
Liverpool
Noted that an inter-city set would be worked into Neasden on a
