-THE loss of 51 trams in the recent fire 1 at the Dalmarnock depot, Glasgow, will not speed-up the change-over to buses, said Mr. E. R. L. Fitzpayne, general manager of the transport department. The reason, he said, was that they were still short of bus drivers.
Mr. Fitzpayne added that apart from the shortage of drivers, the new bus depot at Gartcraig was riot yet ready. Only a few weeks ago 16 trams had been withdrawn from service, and those vehicles, along with 40 old trams due for scrapping, would be filling the breach caused by the fire.
