1. Position of schemes still to be
submitted (Contd.)
In the circumstances it was agreed the Committee would support the
recommendation that the schemes be submited for approval to achieve the
estimated improvement in net traffic receipts of £140,000 per annum as
early as possible. It was considered undesirable to delay taking
measures which make important contributions to the reduction of the Region's
present overall net deficit pending the outcome of eventual policy studies
of the future passenger services plan.
It was appreciated that other schemes, the submissions for which
are in various statges of preparation, may well to a greater or lesser degree
show a similar overall financial result to that of the Part 4 scheme.
The Chairman enquired as to the position of the other schemes and
it was indicated that compilation of the required information in respect of
parcels etc. receipts and cartage costs may retard their submission to a
certain extent beyond the tentative programmed dates.
2. Report on spare vehicles for Marylebone and
St.Pancras services
It was stated the joint report from the D.T.S. and C.M.&
E.E. was in draft and would be sent to the General Manager shortly.
3. Allocation of units being built at Derby and by
Contractors
Revised schedule of allocation is attached as Appendix 'B'.
