MORE ON MOTORWAY EXPRESSES
AIDLAND RED'S method of levying al a " surcharge " on all passengers using their motorway expresses was rejected by the East and West Midland Traffic Commissioners last week, In a deferred decision the Commissioners said that they would increase the level of all single and return fares charged by Midland Red, but pointed out that in doing so they were concerned primarily with the need for increased revenue for the company. Their decision was not to be taken as indicating that they considered a higher fare ought to be charged when an express service was routed via a motorway.
