FOUR North-west England local authorities are to be asked to make a feasibility study of a propoSed rnonobus service kinking Manchester with Oldham, employing the bed of the disused Rochdale canal. The monobuses would depart from a Manchester terminal in the Dale Street basin to Wiekentree Lane, Failsworth. Here they would switch to .an elevated track for about three miles to the centre of Oldham. A monobus is a conventional type of diesel bus designed .to run on a concrete track with a guiding system to steer it, but which is also capable of operating under driver control on a public road. The average cruising speed would be about 40 rn.p.h. The project would cost about [Sm., including canal conversion, but the promoters claim that a profit of 10 percent a y-ear could be made from the service.
