Co-ordination. Agreement at Last Made in Connection with Bus Services in the Liverpool FOR some months negotiations have been in progress between the L.M.S. group of motorbus companies (Ribble Motor Services, Ltd., Crosville Motor Services, Merseyside Touring Co., Ltd., and the proprietors of Ideal Motors and Nor-West Motors) and Liverpool Corporation, with the object of regulating the operation of motorbus services in Liverpool and district. Agreement has now been reached.
When the agreement becomes operative the motorbus services of the Merseyside Touring Co., Ltd., between Litherland, Bootle and the city, which have been such a serious source of opposition to the corporation tramways in the north end of Liverpool, will be withdrawn. Passenger traffic in the city of Liverpool, the borough of • Bootle and the parish of Speke, will be the sole
responsibility of Liverpool Corporation, which will take the whole of the traffic revenue from this zone. Theo there is an outside area, consisting of a belt three miles beyond the city boundary on the eastern side, where there are to be joint services operated by the Ribble and Crosville companies and Li.verpool Corporation, each of the parties bearing a proportion of working expenses and dividing the receipts accordingly.
It is provided that the Ribble and Crosville concerns operate certain services on payment of average working
expenses, plus 3d. per mile to cover interest charges and depteciation, or not more than 15 per cent, above
per mile for single-deck buses and 1s. 2d. per mile for double-deck buses. The corporation agrees not to work in conjunction with any other road-transport services other than the existing tramway services outside the area specifically mentioned in the agreement.
Ono important point from the corporation's point of view is that it is eminently desirable that the agreement should be entered into before April 1st, when the traffic commissionera take office, because it would then be in a position to go before the Commissioners, together with the railway, company, to appeal against any application which may be received for liceaces to operate other services in the area.
