• The Manchester Transport Training Group's training officer, Mr. Jack Wood, has just issued a report on the body's first six months' activities. Achievements include the establishment of office and classroom facilities, the appointment of three instructors, the launching of training courses for haulage managers and the initiation of plans for training student managers. The latter project has now drawn interest from the University of London, says Mr. Wood.
