SOME changes in London Transport's country bus services came into operation on Wednesday, and others will become effective on October 29. Altogether, 12 little-used services will •be withdrawn, although in some cases other routes will be extended to alleviate hardship. Another 13 services will be withdrawn on Sundays.
To secure further economies, several routes are being converted to one-man operation or reduced in frequency, especially at week-ends.
In a statement, London Transport said the alterations were necessary because of a heavy fall in traffic. There had been a substantial increase in private transport which left insufficient demand for bus services, although alternative facilities were available in some cases.
