Minute 1092 - Development
of Maintenance Requirements.
The Chairman again emphasised the need for maintaining submission
dates and that he expected to receive submissions in the month for which they
were programmed. He asked that submissions to the Area Board be sent to
the planning Officer by the first day of the month prior to the apporopriate
Board Meeting.
It was agreed that to enable a proper assessment to be made of the
present position and priority order of the schemes, Mr.Beatty should take the
initiative in the preparation of a chart showing the overall programme and
target dates for completion of the depots for consideration at the next meeting
of the Committee.
858. SCHEMES AUTHORISED BUT NOT YET IN
OPERATION
Marylebone Suburban Services.
(i) Progress in bogie modification and refurbishing.
Mr.Stanley reported the work was up to schedule and 10 sets had
been completed.
(ii) Introduction of Diesel Units with 1st Class
Accomodation.
Mr. Tildesley stated that as the diesel sets had been refurbished
it had been decided the first class accomodation should not be marked down
and it was hoped arrangements would be completed for first class bookings
to be available on the High Wycombe line diesel trains as from the
introduction of the units on 12th June.
Messrs. Salmon and Tildesley would jointly make the necessary
arrangements for publicising this facility and advertising details of the
trains on which first class accomodation would be available.
859. SCHEMES IN OPERATION
(a) Watford-St. Albans and Harrow-Belmont.
The revised comparative statement of annual net revenue of the
passenger train services (Appendix 'C') was examined and it was decided
that Mr. A.J. Johnson should take the initiative
(i) in considering the possibility of cutting down operational costs,
and
(ii) in preparing a further repot to include freight traffic figures.
