889. GENERAL MATTERS OF POLICY  (Contd.)

1. Position of schemes still to be submitted  (Contd.)

(c)  Chester - Rhyl - Llandudno  (Contd.)

(d)  East Midlands
  Derby Friargate - Nottingham Victoria - Grantham
  Nottingham Mid. - Mansfield - Worksop
  Derby Mid. - Sheffield Mid.

The economics of these services were being examined.  The line Traffic Manager, Derby, was already in possession of the financial statement in respect of the Nottingham Mid. - Mansfield - Worksop scheme and financial details of the other schemes would shortly be provided by the Chief Accountant.  The assessment of parcels receipts for the Derby Mid. - Sheffield Mid. scheme had not yet been finalised and the D.T.S. had the matter in hand with the D.T.M., Nottingham.
