The Chairman said that a meeting had been held with representatives
of the Commission to consider the future use of the 11 A.C.V. vehicles
allocated to the Watford - St.Albans and the Harrow - Belmont services, when it
was agreed that complaints regarding the A.C.V. stock were justified and it
would not be advisable to return them to these services. A submission
would now require to be made for the operation of the services by standard
multiple units, and Mr.Gould would arrange for this to be prepared.
Mr.Baker said that the A.C.V. vehicles were now in the Works but
maintenance work had not yet commenced and it was agreed that maintenance
should not commence until it had been decided how many vehicles would be
required as staff trains, and Mr.Gould would advise Mr.Baker.
2. St.Pancras Suburban Services
Reference was made by the Chairman to the recent difficulties
being experienced on these services.
It was stated that the trouble arose from a number of small mechanical

consideration and every effort was being made to bring the services back to
normal.
