Get together
ARRANGEMENTS between Maidstone and District and London Country Bus Services to give a better service in the Gravesend area have now been finalised.
A weekly ticket allowing unlimited travel on services run by both companies in Gravesend is being introduced for £1.70.
Problems aired
A DISCUSSION of current problems in the passenger transport industry has been arranged by the Association of District Councils.
It is to be at the Public Works Congress in Birmingham on Thursday November 18. The speaker will be Mr Goeffrey Hilditch, general manager of Leicester City Transport.
Back to LT
LONDON TRANSPORT has taken a large portion of its Aldenham works that was previously leased to British Leyland. This will enable LT to increase output from the current figure of 480 buses a year to a new total of about 570.
Next year, work will start on major overhauls of the first of LT's 2000 Daimler Fleetline buses.
Study promise
THE SHAPE of the Government-sponsored study into the future long-term demand for passenger transport on inter-urban journeys will not be decided until Transport Minister Mr William Rodgers has consulted transport operators and others principally concerned.
Making this promise in the Commons last week, Mr Rodgers said preparatory work on the study — proposed in the Transport Policy Consultative Document — was in hand.
