THE seven members of the West Midlands Bus Anti-Nationalization Action Committee have just met for the first time.
At the meeting, in Birmingham, the Committee briefed three Wigan, Lancs., bus and coach operators who had come specially to hear what was being done to fight the Minister's proposals to set up Passenger Transport Authorities.
The Committee discussed its plans for an all-out campaign opposing "back-door nationalization" of the private sector of the bus and coach industry and the elimination of passenger choice as between many road and rail services. It was agreed to alert the West Midland ratepayers to the increased financial burden they will have to carry if the Minister's proposals become law.
The news from Tyneside that a similar Anti-Nationalization Action Committee had been formed in the North East was welcomed by the Committee.
