rTh.A NEW branch at Rowley Road, Coventry, will be opened next Monday by B.R.S. (Parcels) Ltd. The transit shed covers an area of some 27,000 sq. ft. and encloses entirely the 160-ft. by 45-ft. island platform provided for handling and sorting of parcels. The premises adjoin the existing B.R.S. general haulage branch in Rowley Road, where facilities, including fuelling and vehicle washing, are available and will be used by the parcels company.
Some 17 direct trunk services will be operated daily from the new premises, providing a connecting link between nearly 100 branches serving regularly 15,000 or more places. Mr. F. Morton will be branch manager (tel.: Toll Bar 2401). The existing parcels branch at Sandy Lane, Coventry, will be closed.
