865. SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE ARRANGEMENTS.
Before considering the minutes of the last Sub-Committee meeting,
the Chairman referred to the re-appraisal of the requirements for diesel
locomotive maintenance facilities as reported in Minute No.868.
Minutes of Sub-Committee Meeting held on 17th
May, 1961
Noted with the following comments.-
The Chairman pointed out a further Sub-Committee meeting had been
held on the 21st June, the minutes of which had not yet been circulated,
and therefore some of the items had already been progressed.
It was noted that outstanding work at Cricklewood had not progressed
to schedule and also that although Marylebone Depot was now in use, there
were several items outstanding.
The Chairman, whilst appreciating the difficulties in bringing
these matters to a conclusion, asked that special efforts should be made by
all concerned to finalise the work at these depots.
Minute 1143. Kirkdale (Multiple Units)
The question of the removal of the cross-over road had been
resolved, but the D.T.S. maintained that the provision of an additional
cross-over road to obviate shunting movements through the washing plant was
essential.
Owing to the physical disadvantages of the D.T.S's former
proposals for the siting of this cross-over, a further suggestion had been
referred to the C.C.E. by the D.T.S. on the 23rd June, and Mr.Beatty would
look into and urge forward.
Minute 1110. Nottingham London Road Low Level
(Multiple Units)
Because of the decision to revise the maintenance facilities at
Nottingham London Road Low Level to include facilities for diesel
locomotives, following the re-appraisal referred to above, the submission
for the multiple unit scheme would go forward to the Area Board without that
for the maintenance depot, which would not now be available in time.
