WESTERN S.M.T. BUSES TO REPLACE TRAMS
ANEW bus service, designed to replace tram facilities withdrawn by Glasgow Corporation. was last week authorized to the Western S.M.T. Co., Ltd., by the Scottish Traffic Commissioners. It will run between Glasgow and Cambuslang.
Mr. R. Loudon, for the company, said that an existing service provided between 11 and 36 buses an hour during peak periods. The application was for an additional three buses an hour at peak times, to be operated in conjunction with an existing service between Glasgow and Eddlewood, which, it was thought, Would meet the requirements of the public served.
Mr. W. Quin, chairman, commented, "You propose to introduce three additional journeys an hour as against a much more frequent tram service. I think you should keep the position under review."
