With the Man at the Wheel.
As the result of ,the recent fatal accident to the conductor of a Keighley motorbus, which was mentioned in our last issue, a sliding panel has now been arranged in the front end of each of the double-deck bodies on the Cor poration's motor vehicles. This will obviate the necessity of the conductors' going forward outside the vehicles, in order to collect the fares of those passengers who travel beside
the drivers. We should have preferred to have heard that passengers in future would not be carried on tile
front seats with the drivers; it is far wiser to isolate the than at the wheel.

taking. This will be of interest to our motorbus friends of the Brighton, Hove and Preston company.
