Page 130
If you've noticed an error in this article please click here to report it so we can fix it.
MEW control methods have been introduced by London Transport to cut down gaps, bunching and crawling by buses in Central London.
Running has hitherto been regulated by a local inspecting staff, reinforced by a small mobile checking squad. This arrangement will continue, but a new bus running control, comprising a third of the senior inspectors, has been formed.
The control. with headquarters at Oxford Circus and a staff totalling 78 under two chief road inspectors, is mobile and will give intensive and coordinated supervision to bus routes in the City and West End. Its duty is to deal with services affected by traffic congestion, road repairs or other causes. Staff check timings, turn buses if required and take action to eliminate gaps or bunching. , Timing points have been set up on the fringe of the inner London area, and every effort is made at these points to ensure that buses enter the area at correct intervals.
Wide use is being made of London Transport's private telephone network for' rapid communication.
