TO-ORDINATION between the 1......Trent Motor Traction Co., Ltd., and Derby Corporation is being highly developed. Last Sunday a new joint service from the tOwnS centre to Cavendish was inaugurated.
During the past 12 months the services of the two undertakings on the Coronation Avenue route have been co-ordinated and, later, interavailable return tickets were introduced on it.
A further scheme has just been prepared for another joint service to the new housing centre at Chaddesden Hall.
At a civic reception held at Derby last Sunday, Mr. J. W. Womar, chairman of the Trent Motor Traction Co., Ltd., said that there was never a time when it was more desirable that the principle of co-ordination should be extended. He believed that the schemes already put in hand or proposed would not only benefit the travelling public. but would ensure that the management and control of the two undertakings Would remain vested in those able to do the job.
Ald. C. R. Bates said that as a Socialist he was not averse to working with a capitalist concern, provided that it was of benefit to both sides.
