the mid-week period. .

From Stradishall; the rate will be 8s., against the normal fare of 9s. 6d.,`and _ from the other 10 destinations, 7s. 6d. (normal rates varying from 9s. to 7s. 6d.). Initially, the scheme is effective until December 29,but Premier Travel expect to seek permission to extend it until Easter.
