I T is understood that the draft of the new consolidated Conditions of Fitness Regulations, which is to be distributed to affected organizations. contains special provision to cover passenger vehicles with two tiers of seats, one above the other, but not on separate decks. The Cre!lin-Duplex is a representative example of this type, which is neither a single-decker nor a double-decker.
It is not known when the regulations will come into force, but early this month, Mr. Alfred Barnes, Minister of Transport, informed a Member of Parliament that it was unlikely that a certificate of fitness for a CrellinDuplex cpach could be issued before Easter. The date on which the new regulations will come into force must depend on the degree of priority which the Minister of Transport in the next Government gives them.

BIG STRIKE OF U.T.A. WORKERS A N effect of integration of road and A—krail transport in Ulster has been a strike of nearly 3,000 road haulage workers employed by the Ulster Transport Authority, and dockers in Belfast. The dispute arose from the transfer of 14 former railwaymen to a road transport depot. According to the National Union of Railwaymen, the men were pressed to resign from the Union.
