FURTHER REDUCTIONS IN LONDON PASSENGER SERVICES?
'TO a request made in the House of 1 Commons that more passenger transport should be provided in London, Mr. Noel-Baker said last week that the drastic reductions of services were required to save man-power, fuel• and rubber. They were being effected progressively throughout the country, wherever it could be done without hampering essential travel.
At the same time new and increased facilities by road or IVl were constantly being provided for war workers. No service was withdrawn or curtailed until the use made of it by the public had been carefully reviewed.
He regretted that he could hold out no hopes of any • general increase in travelling facilities in London in the early future. On the contrary, farther reductions were likely.
