The Association claimed that risting services between Unsworth, Ihitefield and Manchester were unsatisctory,
Mr. G. J. Taylor, a member of the ssociation's committee, suggested that ises between Unsworth and Whitefield iould operate at 20-minute intervals to iincide with train arrivals. A direct rvice to Manchester was also required, gether with a more frequent service Saturday afternoons.
