• The top job in the Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive is to go to a local man who has spent most of his career working in Liverpool's transport undertaking. Mr F. A. Moffat, at present director of operations for the West Midlands PTE, was appointed to the £.12,000-a-year director-general post on Tuesday.
Fifty-sixyear-old Mr Moffat has been with WMPTE since 1970. He moved there from the Merseyside Executive where he had been a divisional manager for the PTE's first six months. Mr Moffat had been a traffic superintendent with Liverpool Corporation Transport for the 15 years before the PTE's formation. He began his career with the undertaking.
Mr Moffat was chosen from a short list of eight names but the unsuccessful candidates are not being identified. Mr Moffat told CM this week that he expects to move to Merseyside after his three months' notice expires.
The post became vacant on the death at Christmas of Mr Albert Burrows.
