ONE-MAN BUSES USED
ONE-MAN bus operation began in Great Yarmouth on Sunday when the corporation put into service Guy 26-seaters bought from London Transport. Two existing routes requiring one bus each for the winter service are being converted first, and two more one-man buses will go into operation when the proposed circular service in Gorleston begins. The corporation have bought five Guys.
ROAD TO BE WIDER
WORK is to start shortly on improving the Exeter-Leeds trunk road between Streethay, near Lichfield, and Alrewas, a distance of about three miles. The road will be straightened and a second carriageway added at a cost of £155,000. The project should be completed in about 18 months.
Eventually it is intended to provide a dual carriageway all the way from Streethay to Branston, Burton-on-Trent, a distance of eight miles.
