1-1 A RESOLUTION calling for better

rural transport services and more simple licensing for small bus operators was passed at the conference of the National Association of Parish Councils, in London last week.

Capt. S. W. Nicholas, of Northumberland, stated that in parts of the country where railway lines had been abandoned because bus services were adequate, bus services had themselves now become unsatisfactory.

Rural bus operation should be subsidized, he added, or small operators should be allowed to pick up passengers in towns instead of only in remote areas.

Mr. J. Rushton, of Shropshire, wished the licensing system to be modified so that it would be possible for vehicles of the Minibus type to be operated by village carriers.

Until the early 1930s, he said, the village carrier used to take both goods and passengers from the country into the towns, but today too many formalities had to be overcome before he could do so.
