THE general manager of Glasgow Corporation Transport Department. Mr. E. R. L. Fitzpayne, is to meet Mr. James Ness, general manager, Scottish Region, British Railways, to discuss proposals for the provision of a feeder bus service between large housing schemes on the outskirts of Glasgow and railway stations on the Blue Train electrified line. The Lord Provost of Glasgow, Mrs. J. Roberts, convenor of a special committee set up to review public transport facilities in the city, said the feeder service would be tried as an experiment. If it proved successful, it would be extended to cover other housing schemes. Through bus services, however, would not be withdrawn. Rail-bus co-ordination would spread passengers over the two forms of transport, ease congestion in the city centre, and enable people to get to their destinations more quickly and more easily, she said.
