A DENIAL was issued by Mr. C. T.
Humpidge, general manager of Bradford Transport Department, last week after suggestions had been made that his department proposed to Leeds Transport Department that the through bus service operated between the two cities should be discontinued.
Since the introduction of a diesel train service, receipts on the inter-city route have dropped by at least £5,000 a year. Mr. Humpidge commented that it was not the intention to discontinue the bus service, but to improve it.
He and his opposite number in Leeds were seeking methods of meeting coinpetition from the diesel trains.
